Have been running a very useful email poll on whether people think noise from airplanes (or aircraft as English purists point out!) is a problem in my constituency.

Lots of very strongly expressed views, though also noticeable areas where hardly anyone says “yes” – and a few people who are baffled by my asking at all. I guess if it isn’t an issue that directly affects you, it is easy to overlook that there may be many other people nearby for whom it’s a big issue.

It’ll be interesting to plot all the results on a map (that’s why I’m asking people for their postcode).

If you’d like to take part in the poll yourself, here it is:

Do you think there is a problem with the amount of noise from planes over-flying the area where you live?

Please email “yes” or “no” to planenoise AT lynnefeatherstone.org with your postcode
