Cllr David Burbage, leader of the Royal Borough, has called on transport secretary Ruth Kelly to clarify the government's attitude to aircraft noise after a court ruled that she was under no obligation to improve conditions for residents woken up by early morning arrivals at Heathrow.

At the High Court today (Friday May 23) Mr Justice Sullivan said that while the government had a policy of bearing down on night noise this did not necessarily mean that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/sreply/1580 Sat, 24 May 2008 01:07:06 GMT http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/reply/1576/t/Heathrow-.html#reply-1576 Along with the London boroughs of Wandsworth and Richmond, the council is challenging the government's night flight arrangements set in 2005 after it was discovered that many of the planes flying at this time of day had been placed in the wrong noise category.

The Royal Borough is urging residents to have their say on proposals to change the flightpaths of aircraft taking off from Heathrow before they turn north.

Fears that the proposals will move those aircraft take-offs further south - passing over Horton and Wraysbury, Old Windsor, parts of Windsor and east towards Bray - have been expressed by councillors this week as the consultation is extended until mid-June.

Launched by NATS - the National Air... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/sreply/1553 Thu, 22 May 2008 01:32:21 GMT http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/reply/1500/t/Heathrow-.html#reply-1500
Campaigners opposed to Heathrow expansion will come together on Saturday May 31 to create a giant human NO - and the Royal Borough is urging local people to join the 'fun event with a serious purpose'.

A carnival procession will start from Hatton Cross tube station at 12 noon and make its way to the village of Sipson which would be destroyed by the third runway plan.

The Royal Borough is one of a group of councils going to the High Court next week in a bid to win a reduction in the number of aircraft allowed to arrive at Heathrow before 6am.

The 2M group of local authorities opposed to Heathrow expansion - of which the Royal Borough was one of the pioneers - has now doubled in size following a surge in membership among London boroughs.

The group - which took its name from the 2 million residents represented by the original 12 authorities including Windsor and Maidenhead - now represents a combined population of 4 million people after Brent, Harrow, Lewisham, Southwark and Sutton added their voice to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/sreply/1191 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:54:47 GMT http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/reply/1179/t/Heathrow-.html#reply-1179

Government's claims that expansion at Heathrow can be achieved without breaching air quality limits have been undermined by a report from their own environmental advisers - and the Royal Borough is calling for an urgent explanation from transport secretary Ruth Kelly.

Windsor residents will have received in this past week a letter from the British Airports Authority (BAA) announcing their Night Noise Insulation Scheme.

Given that there remains much opposition to night flights, not least from RBWM, this announcement does rather suggest that substantial increases in night flights will happen regardless of public opinion.

Well, that comes as no surprise, does it?
