Minutes Head of Airside Operations for AGS Airports Ltd gave his report (appended to minutes, Item 123).

Head of Airside Operations for AGS Airports Ltd confirmed that the website had been updated with an explanation on how the noise contours for the Noise Insulation Scheme worked, as requested at the last meeting, and that no households currently qualified under the scheme.

Councillor Cooper queried how the Noise Forum membership was constituted, and who was on it.

The Head of Planning and Development for AGS Airports Ltd responded that the terms of reference and membership information was available on the Noise Forum website.

Councillor Harwood raised concerns on how the noise contours were measured and that they were being misrepresented. He requested that the airport arranged for soundings to be taken from the Broadwater area before the next meeting, so that they could be further discussed.

The Chair stated that it may be more appropriate for that request to be raised at the Noise Forum, but it would be looked into.
