Noise Reporting

While Stansted Airport ’s passenger and aircraft numbers

continue to fall, concerns about noise appear to be on the

rise. You may like to know that there’s a way of

reporting these concerns to BAA in a way that enables

Stop Stansted Expansion to monitor and follow up on

these complaints. This way, your reports will help SSE’s

work towards improvements to noise management and

better track keeping in the future. In some cases they

could also lead to fines being imposed on airlines where

they break noise and track keeping rules.

To take advantage of the service, log onto SSE’s website

at www.stopstanstedexpansion.com and click on the

‘complain about noise’ link or call the Campaign Office

on 01279 870558 for a copy of its ‘Concerned About

Noise’ leaflet which explains more (this is also

reproduced online).

year, with May to July last year. However, some villages
in Uttlesford, which generally have very low crime rates,
have been suffering a higher than usual incidence of
house burglaries recently, and local police and
Neighbourhood Watch are asking residents to be more
vigilant.

"Burglaries in villages are seldom carried out by local
criminals any more," said Uttlesford district Crime
Reduction Advisor, Peter Caulfield. "The burglars are
opportunists who will travel many miles to find suitable
targets."
