REGARDING the RAF trial at Linton on Ouse, while I support the RAF I feel strongly that the noise distribution should be shared equally among local residents.

I do not see why the residents of Alne should suffer additional noise to the benefit of the residents of villages such as Newton which are affected by the new trial circuits.

I believe that these trial circuits represent a fairer distribution of noise than the previous circuits and therefore should be continued.
