Description

Homeowners near Stansted Airport, valued at around eight hundred thousand pounds, describe their lives as a living hell due to constant noise and light pollution from planes. With twenty-seven million passengers annually, planes fly to over two hundred destinations from its single runway. Locals report that the noise, once manageable, has escalated dramatically over the years, becoming a constant hum and a source of significant frustration. Gordon Dorset, a sixty-five-year-old plasterer, has filed numerous complaints, feeling unheard by airport officials. Meanwhile, other residents, like Sarah Cousins, have been fighting against the airports growth for over two decades. Despite varying opinions, the general sentiment among many long-term residents is one of increasing aggravation and a feeling that their concerns are being ignored by the airport.
