Abandon the Policy of discriminatory concentration of flightpaths.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

More people are adversely affected by aircraft noise in the UK than in any other country in Europe (3). The number of people in the UK seriously impacted by aircraft noise has grown in recent years as the industry has concentrated flight paths. Allowing more frequent and lower flyovers.
