Heathrow expansion and aircraft noise

A new aviation regulator

The council wants the Government to set up a new regulator for aviation.

This would combine responsibilities for safety and licensing, currently held by the Civil Aviation Authority, with new roles of consumer and environmental protection.

The council belives that the CAA as constituted lacks the independence for this task. It should be replaced by a new watchdog with powers to ensure compliance.

The Department for Transport has been consulting on proposals for a new regulatory framework.
