Issue - meetings

To consider the report on Fly-parking.

The Assistant Director – Planning summarised the Task and Finish Group’s report on Fly-Parking. He said the emergence of Covid-19 had prevented the Group from progressing their work, primarily due to the fact that the problem of fly-parking had disappeared in the face of the global pandemic and the subsequent impact this has had on air travel.

Councillor Driscoll said he had researched the experience of fly-parking at other airports, such as London Southend Airport, where the problem was solved through Traffic Regulation Orders.

The Chair said the issue would re-emerge as the economy recovered and asked for a brief report to be submitted on Fly-Parking for the Committee meeting in September.
