Edinburgh City Council is to ask the SNP Scottish Government whether it is going to assess the impact an expansion at Edinburgh Airport will have on climate change policies, the Evening News reports. Planning leader Jim Lowrie will ask the SNP to consider how an expansion of the aiprort - whch would see the popula Quality Hotel Edinburgh Airport demoloshed - will impact the city's ability to meet carbon reduction targets.
The decision to query the Government follows comments from Green councillor Steve Burgess at a Council planning meeting yesterday. He said: 'I am concerned that the council is being given conflicting directions by the SNP government. They cannot have it both ways. Do they support endless airport expansion or are they willing to put limits on pollution from increasing flights?'
