consultative committee

The Blackbushe Airport Consultative Committee meets bi-annually to provide a forum in which the Airport can engage with key stakeholders, including local residents and interested groups.

The BACC includes local councillors from the parish councils of Bramshill, Eversley and Hartley Wintney; from the town councils of Blackwater & Hawley, Sandhurst, and Yateley; and from Hart District, Rushmoor Borough and Hampshire County Council.

It also includes representatives from the Yateley Society. The Yateley Common Joint Management Committee, Yateley Commoners and the Local Chamber of Commerce & Industry are constitutional members but do not regularly send representatives.  Management from Blackbushe Airport will sometimes be joined by a representative from one of the Blackbushe based flying schools or other groups.

Below you can find minutes from our previous meetings.  Minutes will be uploaded following meetings, and agendas will be published in the week preceding a meeting.

NEXT MEETING

The next regularly scheduled meeting is planned for Tuesday 17th September 2024 at 19:00. The venue is the Pathfinder Café at Blackbushe Airport.

Members of the public are welcome, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the airport management and committee members.
