Midlothian MP gives her reaction as Edinburgh Airport flight path plan is rejected

Midlothian MP Danielle Rowley.

MP Danielle Rowley has welcomed the decision by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to reject proposals from Edinburgh Airport that would have led to an increase in noise over Midlothian.

In the original proposals, the route proposed by Edinburgh Airport would have passed directly over most of the main residential areas in Midlothian with the potential of increased noise levels, especially in the evening.

Ms Rowley wrote to the CAA after a number of constituents had contacted her.
