Bristol Airport is big enough - No more expansion.

Bristol Airport plans to increase its passenger numbers to 15 Million a year. 

It has been less than two years since the airport gained approval to expand from 10 million to 12 million passengers annually. Residents and Bristol Airport Action Network (BAAN) campaign group are gearing up for another battle against the airport as they now want to expand to 15M passengers annually.  Keep up to date with this story at  https://bristolairportactionnetwork.wordpress.com/ 

Nigel (One Love One Planet radio host) and Richard Baxter from BAAN discuss: 

• The impact of aircraft on the climate emergency. 
• Can commercial aircraft become sustainable within the foreseeable future? 
• What is the airports' on the communities that live near by, such as pollution and noise, and traffic congestion?
• The story of how the local community took on the airport and persuaded North Somerset Council to turn down their initial expansion plans, and how ultimately Michael Gove reversed that decision. 
• Finally, what are BAAN's plans to challenge Bristol Airport again as they apply for permission to further expand passenger numbers, and how you can join their campaign.
