Flight paths meeting organised in Castle Brom

RESIDENTS are invited to attend a public meeting to discuss proposed changes to flight paths at Birmingham Airport.

The plans, unveiled a couple of months ago, would mean a change in the direction that aircraft take off from the northbound runway.

This could impact on residents living in Marston Green, Chelmsley Wood, Kingshurst, Fordbridge and Castle Bromwich.

The meeting will be held at St Mary and St Margaret's Community Hall next Thursday (August 17). It is expected to run from 6.30-8.30pm.

While no representatives from the airport will be present, locals still have the opportunity to make their feelings known through the formal consultation.

This will run until October 9, with details on how to take part available here.
