3. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY MEETING
The Chairman noted that this was the Committee's 25th Anniversary Meeting. There would
be a celebration of the Committee's birthday after the meeting. The Committee noted that
both the Chairman and Secretary were first appointed at the first meeting of the Committee
on 30th June 1987 1 . Gary Hodgetts thanked the Chairman and Secretary for all their hard
work on behalf of the Committee over the years. The Airport was appreciative too of the
support offered by the local community and their participation in the work of the
Committee.
The Committee noted also that it was 30 years ago on 27th June 1982 that Captain Harry
Gee landed a Dash 7 on Heron Quay and so started the events which led to London City
Airport. A plaque commemorating the landing had been unveiled at the DLR station at
Heron Quay in June 2005 by the late Reg Ward the former Chief Executive of the London
Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) - members could see the plaque as they went
up the stairs to Heron Quays DLR station.
4. RENEWAL OF COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
The Secretary had received the following nominations:
o Cllr Steve Brayshaw - London Borough of Newham
o Cllr Alec Kellaway - London Borough of Newham
o Jo Negrini - London Borough of Newham
o Stephen Mutton - London Borough of Tower Hamlets
o Cllr Denise Hyland - Royal Borough of Greenwich (Deputy Cllr Peter Brooks)
o Cllr Peter Craske - London Borough of Bexley
o Tim Martin - London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
o Cllr Barry Tebbutt - London Councils (Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Havering)
o Janette Withey - Docklands Business Club
o Gary Hodgetts - London City Airport (Deputy Elizabeth Hegarty)
o Melanie Burnley - London City Airport (Deputy Mandy Doherty)
o David Hodges - London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Deputy Helen Hill)
o Mike Luddy - RODMA (Deputy Angela Beckett)
o Howard Sheppard - Canary Wharf Limited (Deputy Tony Jordon)
(The deputies to the Newham members would be Cllr P Holland and Cllr P Murphy)
It was agreed that where members were nominated by an organisation these should be accepted
and the Airport would be recommended accordingly.
Work on the representatives of the local community had still to be completed. The Committee
noted where more than one application had been received for an area the Secretary was working
with Rupal Patel to interview applicants and draw up a list for approval by the Committee and the
Airport. Once the list was completed it would be presented to the Committee at its next meeting
or, in view of the time factor, perhaps by e-mail.
The Committee noted that so far no applicants had been received in respect of West Silvertown
and the Secretary would be approaching local contacts to see if someone could be found.
In response to a question Dennis James said that the Custom House and Canning Town area could
be easily split in two along Freemasons Road and, indeed, that he and his deputy (Olusola
Ogunbanjo) lived in each of the areas thus created. But the split would not be balanced in
population terms and Elizabeth Hegarty said that an alternative might need to be found perhaps by
reference to the noise contours.
The Committee noted that the Revd. Trish Capriello was no longer the Airport Chaplain and that
the Bishop of Chelmsford had appointed the Rev. Kelvin Woolmer to be Airport Chaplain in her
stead. The appointment was supported by both the local IMAM and the local Rabbi. The new
Airport Chaplain would be assisted by Father Clive Jones.

In response to a question Janet Withey was told that that the position with respect to Deputy
members had not changed. A Deputy could be nominated in advance using the form for new
members or by giving notice to the Secretary where a Member was unable to attend a particular
meeting. A Deputy could not speak at a meeting in the absence of a Member unless the Secretary
had been notified in one of these two ways.
5. The MINUTES of the meeting held on 3rd April 2012 were approved as a correct record of
the meeting. The minutes now approved by the Committee had been posted to the
Committee’s website 2 .
6. MATTERS ARISING
(a) Item 4 - Noise Action Plan
The Committee noted that the Airport's Noise Action Plan had now been approved by the
DfT/DEFRA and that a copy of the approved version could be seen on the Airport's
website at www.londoncityairport.com/environment
(b) Item 9 - PLA Plaque in Ledger Building
Elizabeth Hegarty said there had been no formal response from the PLA and the Airport was still
considering where the plaque might be relocated.
7. CORRESPONDENCE
On 19 June 2012 the Secretary had circulated copies of correspondence with a resident of
the Isle of Dogs and also with a resident of Thamesmead. In addition there had been
correspondence with HACAN.
8. PASSENGER ISSUES
John Shaw of the Passenger Group commented that he thought the gate lounges were too small.
Elizabeth Hegarty said that the size of the gate lounges was among the matters being addressed by
the Airport.
9. SOUND INSULATION PROGRAMME
Elizabeth Hegarty said that the 2009 Programme 3 had been launched in December 2011. All those
eligible for surveys for sound insulation had been notified although in some cases where premises
were leased or rented there had been difficulties in obtaining the consent of the freeholder. There
had been 845 surveys and as at 27th June 2012 work had been carried out at 211 of the eligible
premises. A Progress Report would be attached to the minutes.
Dennis James said that the contractors appointed to carry out the work were first class and he had no
complaints.
10. AIRPORT REPORT
A copy of the report delivered by Gary Hodgetts is appended to these minutes.
Elizabeth Hegarty commented that consultants were in the process of being appointed to advise on
the development of the site at the western end of the Airport. There was likely to be consultation
with members in August this year.
In response to a question Gary Hodgetts said that there seemed to be no overall increase in the
number of passengers in consequence of the Olympic Games. Any such increase was matched by a
decline in the number of business passengers who were travelling less in consequence of the Games.
11. COMMUNITY REPORT
Anthony Angol reported. A copy of his report is appended to these minutes. During the course of his
presentation Anthony referred to National Lottery's Good Causes website at
http://www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/project/rep-london noting that members could vote for one of

the Crossrail scheme. A note of her comments is attached to these minutes.
Julia Dunlop asked whether at the North Woolwich portal the new Crossrail line would pass under
the DLR. Ruth said she would make inquires and inform the Secretary.
14. LONDON ASSEMBLY - INVESTIGATION INTO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF
FUTURE EXPANSION AT CITY AIRPORT
At its last meeting the Committee agreed that the Committee's officers should meet with John
Stewart of HACAN concerning the London Assembly's suggestion that the membership of the
Consultative Committee should be enlarged to include a representative of HACAN. The meeting
with John Stewart took place at Kings Cross on 23rd April 2012 and members had been briefed on
the discussions. Following consideration members had decided that HACAN should not be invited to
be members of the Consultative Committee at London City and the Airport would be recommended
accordingly. The Chairman would write to John Stewart.
It had also been suggested that the Greater London Authority (GLA) should be represented on the
Consultative Committee. In this connection at its last meeting the Committee had noted that the
GLA had been entitled for many years to send a non-voting observer to meetings of the consultative
committee. The present incumbent of this slot was Richard McGreevy and the Committee had
agreed that if he so wished Mr McGreevy could become a full member of the Consultative
Committee. The Secretary had written to Mr McGreevy who was now engaged in discussions
within the GLA.
Meanwhile, the London Development Agency had been absorbed into the GLA and Tom Jackson
would now be a second representative of the GLA but responsible only for local property issues.
15. CIVIL AVIATION BILL
The Secretary's report on the bill was noted. The Bill was now in its Committee Stage in the House
of Lord.
16. UK AIRPORT CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEES - ANNUAL LIAISON MEETING –

Secretary. The papers considered at the meeting could be seen on the UKACCs website at
http://www.ukaccs.info/meeting12.html.
The Department had said that they planned to consult on new guidance for Airport Consultative
Committees in the summer of 2013 after the publication of the final Aviation Policy Framework
which is due next spring. In both cases the consultation periods would be not less than 3 months.

participate in) the first of two oral evidence sessions for the Aviation All Party Group’s inquiry into
the competitiveness of UK aviation. The first such session took place on 16 th May when the Group
heard from among others British Airways, Gatwick Airport, ABTA and Oxera.

heard from witnesses representing Manchester Airport Group, BAA, the British Chambers of

related issues

Terminal Toilets
Appliances for the newly refurbished terminal toilets have been purchased, with particular emphasis
placed on their ecological credibility. Efficient high-powered hand driers have been selected, as well as
sensor controlled flushes and taps to control water usage. LED lighting will reduce LCY power
consumption through a more energy efficient manner and an increased life-span per bulb.

July 21012. A full layout plan can be found below.
5. Fun Day
London City Airport has taken the decision not to hold its Fun Day event in 2012.
In addition to the continually increasing event organisation costs and the high level of activity due to
take place in the surrounding area during the Olympic period, we feel that after 15 years of the event that
it is time to try something new and have diverted our energies elsewhere in our community programme.
Fundraising for the airport’s chosen charity, Richard House Children’s Hospice, was central to the event
and through a calendar of regular fundraising events for the remainder of the year- involving staff and
the local community – LCY will be ensuring the company’s financial support for the Hospice continues
at similar levels.

In the wider community, the airport has up scaled its activity programme and additional resource has
been put into community engagement, education, employment and sport.
6. Land Development and Regeneration Study
London City Airport is going through a tender process to appoint a development company to assess the
opportunities for the airport land to the south of the King George V Dock. The brief requires developers
to consider ways to optimise the airport operation whilst considering community integration with the
Dock and other projects which have recently been undertaken for North Woolwich and Silvertown. The
airport is working with the GLA and LBN to ensure that the study is well informed and sits with the
development policies for the local area and other projects underway.

Environmental Report - April - June 2012
A total of 8 complaints/enquiries relating to environmental matters were received between the 1 st April
and the 30 th June 2012.
Noise Monitoring Terminals (NMTs) 2, 3 and 4 were fully operational during this period, and data
received on each day.
The telephone line to NMT 1 was damaged on the 19 th May 2012 by nearby construction works, which
resulted in communication with the NMT being lost. Data was successfully recorded and stored on the
hard drive of NMT 1 until the 22 nd May 2012, after which, due to a limit to the space on the NMT’s hard
drive, it was considered advisable to deploy a mobile NMT (utilising NMT 1’s microphone and power
source) which communicated with the airport via a GSM data SIM.
The telephone line was repaired by BT on the 29 th May 2012, at which time normal service with NMT 1
was resumed. The data collected by NMT 1 during the communications failure was downloaded from its
hard drive once the line was repaired and the correlation rate with departures for the month of May 2012
was 98%.
‣ Of the 6 complaints were received during this period:
‐ 4 were received regarding aircraft noise, one which also included low flying and the
airport’s flight paths and another which was primarily concerned with TV signal interference
‐ 2 complaints received regarded low flying, one of which was also about changes in flight
paths
‣ Of the 2 enquiries received for this period:
‐ 1 enquiry was received regarding changes in aircraft noise
‐ 1 enquiry was received regarding early morning aircraft flights near Southend Airport (non-
LCY)
