Why there’s more aircraft noise over Cheadle & Gatley

by Lib Dem team on 13 November, 2009

A few weeks back I asked if anyone was experiencing more noise from aircraft, especially around Gatley Road.  A few people got in touch (which is more than Manchester Airport did – I never had a response to my emails).

My friend Cllr Lenny Grice sits on some airport committee so he found out the details.

It seems that the computer system that normally guides pilots in to land is out of action at the moment (don’t know why).   The result is that aircraft are being guided in to land in a different way, resultingin a wider corridor.

So, although not every plane is coming in over the area, some are.

That should be temporary, but I don’t have an end date.

    Very useful information re airport. Why don’t the airport make such information readily available to affected residents. Maybe an easily accessed website where current problems, such as this one, could be easily identified.
