SINCE April this year, the RAF at Linton-on-Ouse have been running a trial with changed flight circuits. This has resulted in significantly less noise for Alne as a whole.

As a care home, we have found this loss of noise over our home to be beneficial to the care and well-being of our residents, and find ourselves happy with the trial change to the flight paths.

To change it back to the original path circuits would not be in the interests of Alne, or Flawith, Aldwark, Tollerton, Tholthorpe and Youlton.
