Keeping in Touch

We are committed to staying in touch with our community. To help provide the best possible service to the people who live in our neighbourhood, we hold regular Community Outreach 'surgeries' across the area, giving local residents the opportunity to raise queries and ask questions of members of our Community Relations Team.

Our Community Relations team are on hand for face-to-face discussions about issues such as aircraft noise, the Sound Insulation Grant Scheme and Vortex Repair Scheme, our Community Trust Fund, public transport access and our environmental policies.

e-News
We also publish regular e-News throughout the year to keep the local community in touch with the latest developments at the airport. We keep the community aware of temporary operational changes such as runway closures.

Community Review
We have recently published our Community Review 2008/2009 which summarises how we work with our neighbouring communities and details some of the activities Airport staff have been involved in over the last twelve months. We hope that you will appreciate the wide range of activities we have developed. 

As you will find in the Review, over the last twelve months we have continued our work with our neighbouring communities and schools. Our intentions remain the same, to add value and create opportunity. Our Social Responsibility activities are at the core of our business and we embrace the opportunities that they provide to develop our own staff.

Outreach Surgeries 
A weekly surgery is held every Tuesday;

• Knutsford Library 9.30am - 12.20pm
• Knutsford Library 1.15pm - 5pm
• At Knutsford an extended evening session is held on the first Tuesday of every month 12pm - 7pm.

The Community Relations Team has a permanent stand at the library offering a selection of free information about;

• Runway operations
• Night-time noise policy
• Our community schemes
• The Community Trust Fund
• Helpful datasheets.

To celebrate a decade of our mobile outreach programme we will now hold two further events;

• Edgeley 10:00 - 16:00
• Wythenshawe 10:00 - 16:00.

Local community artist Andy Leigh will again join the Community Relations Team to work with young people visiting the libraries to unleash their artistic flair with various artistry techniques. These activities will help to build on our education programmes with local schools - as well celebrating ten years of our Mobile Outreach programme.
