There is more info on the changes at:
The consultation documents from NATS are many, and extensive. (However, there
are useful maps to show which areas may be affected). These can be found on
the NATS website at:
One of the consultation documents contains some maps to show areas which will
be affected by new Noise Preferential Routes under the new proposals.
The Stop Stansted Expansion website contains a lot of useful detail about the
proposals, in relation to Stansted:
The LADACAN website contains useful detail about the proposals, in relation to
Luton
A post code search facility enables users to see maps of how their area might
be affected by the changes. This is available at: http://www.consultation.nats.co.uk/mapintro/6/how_this_affects_you.html
There is now a new website, set up by people in south Cambridgshire concerned
about the NATS proposals. It is called RuralPeace and the website is at:
www.ruralpeace.org.uk Worth taking a look at. They have a petition now, and want as many as
possible of the people who will be affected to sign up and join them, so you are
all working together.
