Airport Consultative Committee

Fareham Borough Council hosts the Solent Airport Consultative Committee whose purpose is to foster open and effective communication and build understanding between Solent Airport and its users, local residents and the business community about the impact of airport operations.

This Committee has no decision-making powers but it is a forum to:

• Exchange information and ideas
• Consider and comment upon the airport’s administration, operation and development, including:
  • Existing and proposed facilities at the airport
  • Surface access issues associated with the airport
  • The environmental impacts of the airport, including noise
  • The role of the airport in the local and regional economy, including as a local employer
• Maintain an overview of trends, performance, perceptions, complaints and potential challenges
• Make recommendations to the airport management, and other bodies where appropriate

Members of the Committee

The Committee comprises members who represent the interests of the local community and local businesses, aerodrome users and the three local authorities that the airport is located in.

The Committee is chaired by Councillor Seán Woodward, the Executive Leader of Fareham Borough Council.
