Your Local Councillors

Writing to our local Councillors can be very effective, both by trying to persuade those not so sure that they should oppose the expansion, and by giving information to those who support us. On the lists, those highlighted are the more appropriate Councillors to write to.

and tell them of your concerns and asking for their support.

    Information Library - go here for help and information when writing or emailing in support of  our campaign.

Email Lydd Airport

The email address of the airport is  frontdesk@lydd-airport.co.uk and of Lyddair is  frontdesk@lyddair.co.uk.
Please let them know your views.

Noise Reporting

First, call the airport (01797 322 400/411/403) and report the incident noting the date and time of the incident. If the call is not taken leave a message. In addition, ring the Environmental Department at Shepway District Council (SDC) and repeat the details, mentioning that you have also reported the incident to the Airport. Ring 01303 853 549 and ask to have the complaint logged or email environmental.health@shepway.gov.uk.  Note, SDC cannot take any action but at least we will have an independent record. As a double back up as there have been difficulties with this facility - send/phone/email the details to Di Matra and she too is keeping an independent record for LAAG (01797 366 782, email di@matra.fsnet.co.uk or write to Di Matra, 127 Dunes Road, Greatstone TN28 8SP).  Remember you must ring the airport first and leave details before you log your complaint with SDC and Di Matra.
