Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Residents living under or close to the flightpath already feel unsafe. If anyone from the Councils has actually seen how close to rooftops aircraft are when flying over the Somerset estate you will understan why. It should be recognised that there is a hill to the South West side of the airport which means that aircraft are always close to ground level - this never seems to be a consideration. Flights are not only close to residents but also schools (Thomas Moore and Westcliff High). This is accident waiting to happen!
