Mary Finch, Chair of the Airport Pressure Group and Airport Consultative Committee member for Bitterne Park Residents’ Association will urge local residents to “keep up the noise about airport expansion” when she speaks at the Association AGM on September 20.“The masterplan has still not been published, but we’re seeing expansion anyway, from 1.5 million passengers using the airport in 2004 to 2 million now,” said Mary. “It’s vital we keep up the pressure. That right is ours! Many people who fly from Southampton Airport do this once a year; we live with it 364 days a year, and we deserve a better deal!”
