Compensation For Homes Devalued By Manchester Airport
Nearly 600 homeowners and six schools in Knutsford and Mobberley are to get a pay out for the building of Manchester Airport's second runway.
A payment of £1,500 pounds will be made to householders who claimed their properties were devalued due to the noise from the planes since the runway opened in 2001.
Six local schools will also receive £1,300 each from the airport's owner The Manchester Airports Group.
Two years ago 300 Knutsford and Mobberley residents were compensated.
Five hundred and eighty-three households are to receive payments under the deal brokered by local MP and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and Jeff Gazzard, from the Manchester Airport Environment Network.
"It is a very acceptable final line to draw under second runway compensation," said Mr Gazzard.
