Two debates are set to take place at a full council meeting tonight.

Redbridge council will discuss what action will be taken against London City Aiport’s changing flight path consultation and Redbridge’s Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG) wish to close rehabilitation beds in Wanstead Hospital.

Under the current proposal, most planes travelling to and from London City Airport would be installed with new navigation technology, enabling flights to use a narrower flight corridor over Leyton, Leytonstone and Wanstead.

Cllr Sheila Bain and Cllr Paul Merry will put forward a motion to Redbridge council calling for it to write to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) asking for the current consultation to be scrapped.

London City Airport has said throughout that it is following CAA consultation guidelines “to the letter”.

In the same meeting, a petition of 2,025 signatures against the closure of the Heronwood and Galleon unit, at Wanstead Hospital in Makepeace Road, and move treatment to King George Hospital in Goodmayes.

The petition, organised by Cllr Suzanne Nolan and Cllr Michelle Dunn is calling for the council to write to the CCG asking them to keep the wards open.

As part of the plans, the number of rehabilitation beds in Redbridge, Havering, and Barking and Dagenham will be reduced from 140 to 40.

The CCG has maintained that better care will be available through a new community treatment team, which will care for patients at home between the hours of 8am and 10pm, seven days a week.

The debates will be held at the full council meeting at 7.15pm tonight at Redbridge town hall in Ilford.
