Those living near the airport in Tollerton love the location, describing how neighbours watch planes flying low over their homes and hear the rumbling engines from their gardens. Nottingham City Airport in Tollerton Lane is also home to the Chocs Away Airport Cafe which offers a perfect view of the runway.
To the west of the airport, off the A52, people in Gamston provided a snapshot into what it's actually like to live so close to it. Company co-director Jo Raynor, 59, said she 'loved' the location.
“I’ve been here 27 years. I don’t notice it - it’s not big planes, they’re small: all two seaters, four seaters. No problems, it’s part and parcel - it’s just been there for so long."
