It was extremely disappointing that Bradford Council did not take a formal stance against the expansion of Leeds Bradford Airport. The health problems from the noise generated by the big increase in flights, especially over Wharfedale at night-time are well-understood. This of course is alongside the disastrous impact on climate from so many more flights which will render carbon targets entirely unachievable. Please can Bradford Council take its climate responsibilities seriously and acknowledge that an expanded airport will have a large impact on the health of many people living in the Bradford area. This is not just an issue for Leeds City Council.
