Councillors discuss airport plan
A plan being put forward by the operators of Coventry Airport to reduce noise and aircraft movements is likely to get the backing of councillors.

Warwick District Council is being asked to accept the package being put forward by the airport's operators, TUI, at a special planning meeting on Monday.

Plans for a 2,000-space car park on the south side of the airport are also expected to be approved at the meeting.

Baginton Parish Council expressed its concern over the proposal.

Whatever is decided on Monday night will not mean that planning permission for the temporary terminal has been granted - that will be decided by the government.

The parish council said it was concerned that permission for a car park could be given when there is still a dispute over the terminal.

However the district council has denied the move amounts to a U-turn in its policy.
