4	Adam Lewis	Expansion will benefit the avaiation industry not wider society. The economic benefits to the rest of the economy are minmal when one considers the environmental and social costs. Please don't let this happen for the sake of our planet and the people affected by planes.
5	Joss Cope	Most of the traffic using runway 3 will be short haul - exactly the area we need to contain if we are to contain climate change. This decision will show how serious, or not (as many of us suspect), the government really is on this issue.

8	Susan Kramer MP	I also oppose and will fight the ending of "runway alternation" which gives us our half days of peace. Can't this be added to the petition? I and the Lib Dems are with you all the way.
9	Neil Forbes	No third runway, no 6th terminal, complete ban on night flights, keep runway alternation, full publication of all reports and enquiries into real distress to people from noise and damage to environment by pollution.
10	Tom Brake MP	Climate change cannot cope with a further massive expansion of Heathrow.
11	John Randall MP
12	Cllr Monica Whyte	The Labour Government wants us to believe that they care about the environment yet they want to expand Heathrow airport. This makes a mockery of their stated objective to reduce climate change emissions.

19	Anonymous	A third runway will devastate my local community, forcing anything up to 10,000 people out of their homes,and polluting the environment of thousands more. Expanding aviation in this way will also put the future of our planet at risk.
20	Paul Beckford
21	David Green	Stop airport expansion now!
22	Moira Kemp
23	Ms T Langford	In Wimbledon we are already getting planes flying overhead every couple of minutes which are noisy enough to hear above the televsion. Please stop the expansion
24	Carolyn McMillan	I am totally opposed to the expansion of Heathrow. I have lived in Putney for the last 40 years, and the loss of the alternating runway system which at least gives us half a day of peace worries me. Will I ever want to sit in my garden with planes coming across every 3 minutes with no respite?
25	adam coffman	any further expansion of heathrow would be a disaster for all londoners who are already affected by aircraft noise as flights would increase considerably and more flights = more greenhouse gases which will further accelerate the world's changing climate

28	Dr. John Hunt, Hounslow Green Party	Air and noise pollution around Heathrow have blighted the lives of residents for decades, causing sickness and premature death. When Terminal Five opens in March 2008, physical and mental health, concentration in schools and workplaces, traffic congestion, road rage and crime will all deteriorate locally, while Heathrow's contribution to global climate change will increase, as species become extinct daily. Instead of further expansion, we must begin to manage the process of contracting and converging aviation and shipping to levels that are globally sustainable and internationally equitable. The UK Government must act NOW to reverse this disastrous trend, instead of continuing to stick its head in the sand while sea levels rise, the Thames Barrier is swept away, and the denizens of Westminster go the way of the dinosaurs.
29	christine shilling	Further expansion at Heathrow is unthinkable and immoral. Even IF a 3Runway is built the aviation industry's own figures indicate this will only meet 75% of the anticipated demand. Hence more land grab. More destruction of the environment. The predict and provide model is defunct. This industry MUST be brought to heel in the interests of people and the planet.
30	Andy Hewett, Greenwich Green Party	The Government policy of airport expansion is another example of how it is business as usual for them, and how their environmental agenda is in complete disarray as they continue to put profits before people and planet. Apart from contributing to climate change, there is stress and suffering caused to the people in communities living in the vicinity of the airport from noise pollution. This socially and ecologically unsustainable expansion policy must stop.
31	Sian Berry	As Green Party candidate for Mayor of London I'm completely opposed to the expansion of Heathrow, and at all airports around London. More flgihts and runways would be bad for the planet and for Londoners afflicted by the extra noise and pollution.
32	Cheryl Hounslow	If the airline industry paid its true cost in terms of tax and pollution caused, then airports would be closing rather than expanding.
33	Phil Drackley
34	Dave Sharman
35	Caroline Staunton	It is vital we work towards reducing air travel rather than creating opportunities to increase it
36	Genty Louis/Comité Air et Avion(C2A)	Nous sommes dans une situation similaire à Marseille Provence Airport . Bien à vous and good luck
37	Anonymous	Nous sommes dans une situation similaire à Marseille-Provence Airport. Bien à vous and good luck

39	linda mccutcheon	Help thousands of people save their homes and communities from airport expansion
40	Arthur Hayles

42	Anonymous	This expansion should not go ahead, as it will destroy too many homes. The government has not succeeded in bringing down carbon emissions in the area. Consideration should continue to be given to expand smaller airports, if necessary, in the future.

45	Monica Robb	Please stop expansion at Heathrow. Living under or even near the flightpaths, the noise gets worse every year in spite of the promises from successive governments that no further expansion will take place. There is nowhere to move that isn't affected to a greater or lesser degree by aviation noise. By taxing fuel, currently exempt, curtailing transfer passengers and the better management of flights by deterring half empty flights, would mean that no expansion at Heathrow was necessary. The five London airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton and Stansted have more than double the passenger movements of Paris. The argument that by not expanding, we would lose out to Continental airports is false. There are even greater demonstrations against expansion of the Paris, Schipol and Frankfurt airports, though no publicity is given to them in our media. The government, which says it is listening, should pay more attention to the ever greater voices against expansion throughout the UK and not be guided by their "advisers" who come from the self-interested aviation industry. All the research over the years has shown that noise, expecially that from aircraft, is very detrimental to health, even in babies. Please listen to the suffering communities under the flightpaths. Enough is enough.

49	Jenny Jones	Expansion would be a disaster for local people and for the rest of the planet. It's time to take seriously our global responsibility for reducing our climate change impact.
50	Lee Baker	We can't go on and on 'going for growth', there are limits to what the planet, and Londoners, can take. We need to reduce the demand for short-haul flights and support high-speed rail. Why on earth are people flying to Paris or Manchester from Heathrow? Why is the Government subsidising this environmental madness?
