RUGBY AIRPORT

FACT OR FICTION?

  • FACT: The proposed airport would carry approximately
    64 million passengers a year – Birmingham
    currently carries about 8 million.

  • FACT: Pollution (NO2) and noise levels within our area
    would be significantly above recommended EU
    levels.

  • FACT: The predicted activity level is a take-off or 
    landing ever 30 seconds – night and day passing
    overhead at around 200/300ft.

  • FACT: 3500 acres of green belt land would be lost when the airport is built.

  • FACT: The values of properties are ALREADY impacted
    by the proposals; the long-term effect could be
    extremely adverse.

  • FACT: This airport is seen as a better environmental
    option than extending Birmingham or any of the
    South East airports (i.e. Heathrow & Stansted).


    FICTION: THIS AIRPORT IS NOT A SERIOUS PROPOSAL
    AND WILL NEVER BE BUILT.
