Luton airport spotters building petition

Category: Local Government
Region: United Kingdom
Target: London Luton airport PLC
Description/History:
Although Luton airport does have some good locations for viewing aircraft I would welcome a spotters building similar to the one at London Heathrow’s visitor centre as spotters at Luton haven’t had an official spot for over 7 years.

Therefore I decided to create a petition to get open a building like this. My aim is to collect 500 signatures originally and see how it goes. At 5 signatures a day we can get that in little over 3 months.

This petition will be printed and given to the project 2030 managers and the airport's Human Resources.

Only the public signature list will be supplied to London Luton airport PLC. On this list will be your name, Town, county, country, comment, postcode and the date you signed. Your e-mail address and postal address (if given) will be kept private.

I do not share e-mail addresses and I will only contact you with a thank you note after you have signed and with information about the petition etc.

SO REMEMBER YOUR VOICE MATTERS! SO PLEASE SIGN!

13/06 - Just a quick note to thank all of those which have signed the petition with your excellent suggestions and comments. PLEASE keep them coming as WE NEED THEM!

Thank You

Petition:
We The undersigned ask London Luton airport PLC to include in their airport expansion planning permission:

A building for enthusiasts and the general public to go to observe aircraft at Luton airport or a designated area within the terminal which:

Is an indoor area
Has basic facilities such as toilets
Has some other facilities for the comfort of visitors
such as a model shop/café, interactive displays, a
section about the history of Luton and the airport.
Has a car and coach parking area and transport links
to the terminals and any transport interchange facility in use.
Has screens showing flight arrivals and departures
and a special designed spotting terrace either indoors or on the roof of the facility.

We believe this is a good idea because:

People need somewhere to wave off or greet their family and friends and if such a facility is not provided they will go elsewhere which means even more places for the already very busy security to patrol.

Several other medium and large European airports have such a viewing gallery and if Luton airport is going to expand to this size they should also have such a facility.

Luton airport originally had a spotters facility that was closed down and I really enjoyed using it.

We (the spotter) use the airport and are in favour of the airport expansion and keep an eye out for any unusual or suspicious activity and the photographs we take the articles we write give London Luton airport a good name throughout the world thus bringing more travellers to the airfield.
