Airport urged to go green
31.05.08
Fylde Council and Blackpool Airport's neighbours have urged Balfour Beatty, the airport's new owners, to cut its emissions, the Gazette reports. The appeal comes as Fylde aims to rid itself of the tag of being one of the least energy efficient boroughs in the country.
Officers from the council have already met with representatives from the construction giant to discuss how to tackle pollution. Council leader John Coombes hopes activities both on the ground and in the air can be made more green. He told the newspaper: ‘We need to manage emissions. It is about looking at the carbon footprint of the airport and making sure there are some energy savings.’
Mr Coombes said that the council could use planning regulations to ensure an expansion of the airport, which would see a new terminal being built, is carried out in a greener fashion and that he hopes better public transport links would help slash emissions.
