Newham Planning - A Sham


A short comment from us, as we are rather busy with work behind the scenes right now.

Last night was the London City Airport planning application meeting at Newham Town Hall. As usual, LB Newham had hardly any councillors that could vote on the application - because 3/4s of them have a conflict of interest, or have been taking gifts from the airport...so then we were left with 4.

4 Councillors - who predictably voted in favour of expansion at any cost (oh we were so surprised! Surely not!!).

However, right now FTF is considering it's options.

Onwards and upwards!
