"A Very Civil Way To Protest"

The No lBA Expansion Picnic

Students Keep Aiport Expansion Grounded

Controversial plans for a £28m extension to Leeds-Bradford International Airport terminal have been scuppered for the time being.

On Wednesday the 16th April Councillors voted 8-0 to delay a decision on the scheme amid concerns about the impact it could have on the climate, traffic, noise and jobs in the Yorkshire.

Students at Leeds campaigning as part of the No LBA Expansion coalition worked hard to get over 1200 objection letters signed against the expansion to the council before the meeting. They also met with a number of the Councillors directly to present their case.

No LBA Expansion are now planning a picnic at the airport similar to the one held at heathrow earlier this year to continue to build on their success - everybody is welcome.
