Brussels Airport public inquiry draws little response from local residents: “We’re putting obstacles in their way”.
Fewer than 2,000 complaints have been recorded to date, with almost a quarter of these in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre alone. The timing of the survey and the complexity of the procedure, which can only be accessed in Dutch, may explain the low turnout, according to several elected representatives from towns near the airport. “It’s quite serious, because it’s the only way of making our voice heard, and the decisions taken by the Flemish Region will be irreversible”, worries the Bruxelles Air Libre association.
