This is a critical moment in the campaign to stop the expansion of Lydd airport, safeguard the fragile environment of Dungeness and protect the quality of life of the people who live there. We've followed the story on this blog for a few months but the campaign is long-running and brings togther conservation organisations, community groups and individuals committed to protecting this unique environment.
Shepway District Council will, tonight, decide whether they will endorse the recommendation of their planning officers to refuse permission to expand Lydd airport – you can watch the meeting live and add your voice to the calls to stop this damaging proposal now.
