MANCHESTER Airport said last week that it would send a senior representative to meet homeowners frustrated over their compensation claims.

The representative will attend Friday's meeting at Mobberley Victory Hall to discuss the matter.

This week it emerged organisers had received a number of requests from families wanting to attend the public meeting.

Friday's discussion, which starts at 5pm, will not cover any other airport matters.

Thousands of residents believe their homes have been devalued by jet noise that increased after the second runway opened.

Others have been waiting more than four years for news.

Tatton MP George Osborne arranged Friday's meeting after pressure from residents desperate for answers from Manchester Airport.

Surveyor Colin McCullough, who is representing many of the claimants, cannot attend, but hopes to send his own representative.

If the airport is forced to pay out it is expected to face a bill running into millions of pounds.
