Residents living next to Leeds Bradford Airport have revealed what it is really like being so close to all the hustle and bustle.
Some of those living in the village of Cookridge claim the loud noise of aeroplanes taking off and coming in to land is not only waking them up in the morning, but also keeping them up at night. Cookridge, which is close to Leeds Bradford Airport, has always been exposed to the noise but some people who live in the area are hoping the council takes some action.
Shazad Khan, who lives nearby, talked about what it is like living with the noise. He said: “I suppose since lockdown has ended, I am noticing it a bit more than I did in the years before, probably because of exposure to a couple of years without the noise so we kind of got used to that.
