More than a hundred local residents and environmental campaigners came to the Civil Court in Bristol today (Tuesday) in a colourful and passionate protest against the plans to expand Bristol Airport.
Inside the court building, a special session of the High Court began a two-day appeal launched by the Bristol Airport Action Network, who are mounting a legal challenge against the Government’s decision to grant the airport planning permission for their expansion plans earlier this year.
Outside the court, a coalition of people who live around Bristol Airport, and environmental campaigners from Bristol and the region, gathered for a vigil, protest, rally and to hear speeches by campaigners and residents.
