Anti- Heathrow Expansion Mega Rally Saturday 17th April at 930 am
Mary Macleod MP is joining forces with Zac Goldsmith MP, other local MPs from all parties, the Mayor of London and Council Leaders to hold a ‘mega rally’ to demonstrate the strength of feeling against possible expansion at Heathrow airport. Mary Macleod, MP for Brentford and Isleworth, said: “This Government scrapped plans for expansion at Heathrow when it took office and this was absolutely the right decision. Building a 3rd runway at Heathrow would not be enough in itself in the long term so we are really talking about a 3rd and 4th runway – something that simply could not be tolerated by the residents of west London. Latest estimates show that up to two million people are already disturbed by aircraft noise from Heathrow. The health and well-being of local residents must be protected as we look at future options for aviation.” In October last year, the Government announced the Aiports Commission, headed by Sir Howard Davies, to look at how to maintain the UK’s aviation capacity. Expansion of Heathrow is one option that will be considered as part of this work. Everyone is encouraged to attend the event.
