Some pledged £200 and said: “Thank you for pursuing this on behalf of the community.” A big thank you from us too. It’s all of our community (and beyond) who will be affected by a noisy, polluting cargo hub. You can help try and stop it by donating here. crowdjustice.com/case/suppor…

Support Judicial Review of SECOND Manston Airport DCO

I live in Ramsgate and care about the town, its people and its future. I couldn't do this without the support and encouragement of scores of remarkable Ramsgate residents and hundreds of donors.

Airlines and airports have been under fire for some time now over their climate wrecking business model but they also do some of the most aggressive political lobbying in the UK. We need to make our elected officials accountable to us, not aviation bosses. neweconomics.org/2023/05/agg…

Aggressive aviation

Aviation industry political lobbying is a threat to us all

Here we go... planetradio.co.uk/wave-105/l… Don't forget to report every incident of #NoisePollution from #SouthamptonAirport to [email protected] They will claim each flight has followed the "designated flight path" - that doesn't mean is isn't noisy!

thetimes.co.uk/article/priva… Yet another example of damaging use of private planes by Specsavers executives. Doesn't help that company HQ is in 'tax-efficient' Guernsey with average flights being 46 mins. Company promises its operational activities will be carbon positive by 2035.

Private flights for Specsavers executives ‘not a good look’

Specsavers executives made an average of 22 trips a week on two private aircraft over the past year, despite pledging to “make sure everything we do has as min

A new EU law was announced yesterday on the use of aviation fuel substitutes (#SAF). While many applaud this as ambitious, it could actually be catastrophic, opening the door for a new rush of carbon colonialism. ec.europa.eu/commission/pres… 🧵Read our thread 👇

Leaflets ready for next week's March against aviation in London as part of XR's BIG ONE on Friday 21st April. Gathering at 1.30pm at Nelson's Column & marching to the Dept of Transport to join The People's Picket located there. It's going to be too big to ignore. #UniteToSurvive

What councils FAIL to think about when they fell trees loved by communities is the human cost to mental health & wellbeing. A young local girl sits totally devastated by the felling of the Senlac Plane. #Senlacplane @LewishamCouncil @LouiseKrupski @damienegan @annamoore83

The replies to the DfT's tweet are entertaining! There's probably one person in support, and everyone else giving the government hell for this ridiculous move. Shows how tone-deaf the government is when it comes to climate and transport policy.
