Manchester Airport faces big compensation bill
16.09.09
Manchester Airport faces a multi-million pound lawsuit from residents over claims that noise and fumes from planes have slashed the value of their homes, the Evening News reports. More than 200 householders have lodged compensation claims over the airport's second runway, which opened in 2002.
The airport hopes to come to an agreement with residents, but if that fails the legal cases will be settlmed by arbitration year. If all the claims are successful the total bill could be £9m. A Manchester Airport spokesman told the newspaper: ‘For a small number of Mobberley residents, we accept that there has been an impact from Runway Two. We would like to resolve this by agreement but if that fails, the Lands Tribunal will act as arbiter.'
