Stop Aston Martin Helicopter Landings in Upper Lighthorne!

The Issue

As a concerned resident and council member of the beautiful village of Lighthorne Heath in the Parish of Upper Lighthorne, I am writing this petition to address a pressing issue that is affecting our community's well-being. The illegal helipad being used at Aston Martin and the resulting frequent helicopter landings have become a significant source of noise pollution, posing serious health hazards to our residents. It is crucial that we take action now to protect the tranquility and safety of our village.

Personal Story:

Living in Upper Lighthorne for many years, I have witnessed firsthand the increasing number of helicopters flying at dangerously low altitudes over residential areas during landing procedures. The constant noise disturbance has disrupted peaceful moments with family and friends, making it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities or even hold conversations within our own homes.

Furthermore, the excessive noise caused by these low helicopter landings not only affects our quality of life but also poses potential risks to our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can lead to stress-related illnesses such as hypertension, sleep disturbances, impaired cognitive function, and even cardiovascular diseases (Source: World Health Organization).
