Assembleia Municipal de Lisboa aprova apoios a obras em casas afectadas por ruído do aeroporto

The Lisbon Municipal Assembly approved the Less Noise Program to support soundproofing works in homes affected by Humberto Delgado Airport noise. With a budget of ten million euros, the program aims to assist around 3,600 households, out of a potential 100,000 eligible. The regulation received mixed votes, with support from several parties and abstentions from others. Concerns were raised about the funding limitations and the principle of the polluter pays, as residents may bear some costs. The assembly also addressed other issues, including housing crisis measures and transparency in municipal decisions.
