East Midlands Airport
Joint Working Group
The County Council has set up a Joint Working Group (JWG) made up of local District Councils in Leicestershire and with councils from outside of Leicestershire. The Joint Working Group is made up of the following organisations:
- Leicestershire County Council
- Blaby District Council
- Charnwood Borough Council
- Harborough District Council
- Hinckley and Bosworth District Council
- Melton Borough Council
- Oadby and Wigston Borough Council
- North West Leicestershire District Council
- South Derbyshire District Council
- Erewash District Council
- Rushcliffe Borough Council
- East Staffordshire Borough Council
Also invited to attend the Group are:
- East Midlands Airport
- Leicestershire Police Authority
- Association of Airport Related Parishes
- East Leicestershire Villages Against Airspace
- Wreake Valley Parish Councils
The JWG first met in July 2004 and has met on a number of occasions since then. The JWG has joined together to see what can be done to persuade the airport to have better controls over noise impacts.
The JWG has met with the airport and other interested parties to discuss the issues.
The JWG has provided evidence to the House of Commons Transport Committee on their inquiry into the work of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The link below directs readers to this Committee's report on the CAA.
The Government produced a response to the Committee's report and this is available via the link below.
