| 15351 | Tom Sweet | As so many flights from Heathrow are short-haul to nearby European or other UK cities can the government not looking at upgrading and expanding (at far less cost) the rail network first? It's a lot less polluting, time consuming and a far more pleasant experience if done well. Just look at the Eurostar and TGV for a perfect example of how things can be. |
| 15352 | Mark Newman | I believe that the benefits of the expansion have been overstated and that the costs in terms of noise and other environmental effects have been deliberately downplayed. The only people who will benefit are those managers working for BAA |
| 15353 | Anonymous | Heathrow expansion = Flogging a dead horse
New aiport to be located in Thames estuary and heavy investment in improved high speed rail links all round better idea. |
| 15354 | brenda mcauliffe | I live in Blackheath and we have 6 flight paths which go directly over my house. The planes now fly lower than before, they are extremely noisy. jet emissions are killing this planet. noise pollution is increasing. we need to care for this earth that sustains all our needs. governments need to come together and take seriously the earth's struggle for survival. We cannot survive if the earth is polluted. |
| 15355 | Geoff Dorrington | For the sake of those, like me, who have to live near Heathrow and for the sake of the fight against climate change, please scrap plans for any more runways. Thank you. |

| 15360 | E C Vincent | Development at Heathrow is not a good economic model.
A new runway there would only satisfy aircraft movements for a few years, and would soon reach maximum capacity. The better long term development would be to create a new London airport in the Thames estuary, where there is ample room for development now and for many years to come. Because of it's location to the East of London... it would be ideal for aircraft arriving from Europe and the near and Far east, removing the need to over-fly the city. (Heathrow could then concentrate on arrivals from the Americas).
Of course a fast rail link would need to be provided from the Medway airport, but this would all be part of a good sustainable and future proof development. |
| 15361 | Paul Allatt | West London residents already have to cope with nosie and pollution from aircraft flying to and from London Heathrow.
Expansion of the airport will increase this and make the lives of such residents intolerable.
the case for expansion is unclear economically and would inflcit serious and further damage to the environment. |
| 15362 | Linda Henderson | It is appalling to think that in less than a few months ago I lived in relative peace. Now in Blackheath we are plagued by 6 flight paths overhead, non-stop noise and knowing that the carbon emissions generated by the aircraft are responsible, amongs other pollutants for destroying the earth. We are killing off our own eco system - and yet Heathrow continues to expand with 7 terminals planned and 700,00 planes a year flying overhead.
This madness has to stop and the respect for the earth to begin. Otherwise our children's children will not see life as we know it.
For my part, the noise is intolerable. If I wish to sit quietly and not hear aircraft I need to wear ear plugs as well as ear defenders.
I hope to sell my house to live somewhere quiet where the jets don't continually roar overhead. But what a sad state of affairs we are now in where we have made the quality of life so poor that thousands can't wait to escape around 6 times a year on cheap Easijet flights, causing those of us down on the ground to cover our ears and pray that the noise will stop eventually! Thus in an attempt to get away from the noise and polluted atmosphere we live in, we inadvertently cause in reacting to what is called the 'fight or flight' autonomic nervous system, the very conditions from which we want to escape. Because we sense we are powerless to fight we fly away. Ironic isn't it! |
| 15363 | Julian Mitchell | We need to be doing more to cut the number of flights, not increase them. Continued expansion, continued growth is not sustainable or desirable. Stop destroying the quality of life in this country! |

| 15367 | Andy Akerman | I find the economic case for expansion is underwhelming and the environmental case against expansion is overwhelming. |

| 15369 | Anonymous | The Airports dissadvantages now outweigh its dissadvantages. Noise and pollution have increased exponentially. |

| 15375 | Rebecca Makepeace-Brown | The expansion of Heathrow airport does not seem appropriate at a time when it is imperative that we find ways of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. |

| 15379 | TONY MORGAN | Discourage flights not encourage them! Just read how all these new budget airlines together with the established ones have produced a 100% increase in pollution in last few years.
STOP THIS DESTRUCTION |

| 15386 | Wendy Pearce | It just doesn't make sense to expand Heathrow. We have to take responsibility to cut our carbon emissions if we don't want to irreversibly damage the planet we live in. It's happening now and we have to stop it. |
| 15387 | Simon Murray | We are a family of five and our quaility of life is being totally destroyed by the constant noise, noise noise. We live in Fulham and are now going to move - the ability for my children to have a good nights sleep is fundamental to their physical and mental state. Heathrow is effecting their ability to grow, develop and play. |

| 15392 | Alison Bunn | The expansion of air travel is completely contradictory to the aim of reducing carbon emissions. There is no way we can reduce global climate change to manageable levels if we continue to increase air travel. |
| 15393 | Jen Claydon | It would be fantastic if the government could follow through with their plans to reduce carbon emissions - rather than increasing them - by halting the building of a third runway at Heathrow. We, the people, are against this very much! |
