Hyslop Encourages Residents to Attend Airport Meeting

Local Constituency MSP for Linlithgow, Fiona Hyslop is urging local residents in Winchburgh to attend a meeting with Edinburgh Airport on Wednesday 19th April at Winchburgh Church in Millgate at 7pm to have their concerns on airport flight paths addressed.

Fiona said;

“Since the start of the year I have received a number of emails from constituents in Winchburgh raising their concerns about Edinburgh Airport’s current flight path consultation. Particularly as the original airport postcode checker said that they would not be in the original design envelope consultation.

“I have met and written to Edinburgh Airport recently to discuss the concerns my constituents have regarding their proposed and preferred flight path routes and have encouraged my constituents to make their views known directly to the airport. I also understand that the consultation deadline has been extended by one week, to May 7th to ensure that as many people as possible submit their views.

“The public meeting on the 19th of April is an opportunity for residents to ask their specific questions directly to the airport, to share their views on both the preferred and proposed routes that concern them.”
