Regulation for support to homes affected by airport noise approved in Lisbon
The Lisbon Municipal Assembly has approved the 'Menos Ruído' (Less Noise) program regulation, which provides funding for acoustic insulation works in residential buildings. The initiative targets approximately 3,600 homes in the municipalities of Lisbon, Almada, Loures, and Vila Franca de Xira, utilizing a 10 million euro fund allocated by the government.
Why it matters
If you live in an area critically affected by noise from the Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, Almada, Loures, or Vila Franca de Xira, you may be eligible for financial support to improve insulation, such as window and shutter box replacements, though funding covers only a small fraction of the 100,000 potentially affected homes.ObservadorRead original ↗
