Regulation approved to support houses affected by airport

The Lisbon Municipal Assembly approved the Less Noise Program, aimed at supporting soundproofing works for approximately 3,600 homes affected by Humberto Delgado Airport operations. The program, backed by a €10 million government fund, will focus on improving acoustic insulation in critical areas. Despite the approval, concerns were raised about the limited funding and the principle of the polluter pays, as residents may bear some costs. The assembly also passed recommendations for increased funding and transparency in municipal decisions, alongside measures to address the housing crisis in Lisbon.
