Petition updatePLANE HELL: TOO EARLY, TOO LATE, TOO NOISY, TOO LOW… TOO MANY! & TOO DIRTY - TOO POLLUTING

Caroline Pidgeon, Deputy Chair GLA Transport Committee and Tracey Beresford, Secretary Southwark Green Party, with Plane Hell Action SE on the steps of St Mark’s Kennington in February 2020. Supporting the ban on weekend flights and the ban to extend weekday hours of operation. 

While it is good news for Londoners that expansion has been halted it is important to highlight where pressure needs to be kept up. We urge you to write to your MP asking for their support for:

1. BAN lifting cap on flights; for Londoners this means NO to Heathrow or London City requesting more flights

2. PHASE flight paths and reverse the increasing concentration in any form: NO to Independent Parallel Approaches and NO to Performance Based Navigation – satnav for planes

3. BAN flights between 10pm and 7am except in emergency: an end to sleep deprivation

4. update SoNA, Government's flawed noise metric which forces so many to endure plane noise at levels and times of night and day and out of step with WHO recommendations

5. end policy of flight paths to more than one airport operating over the same communities

6. fairly SHARE pollution caused by plane noise and emissions across communities
