16851 Andrew KerrWe should be investing in regional airports so that communities OUTSIDE of London can benefit. There is more room to do this kind of expansion, with less adverse effects.

16854 Amandaabsolutely atrocious, the government rant and rave about needing to save the environment and reducing carbon emmissions, why, building another terminal and adding another runway is the perfect way to show it isnt it? i think not.
16855 Gwen Brewster
16856 Paul AllenI am opposed to another runway. Amazed at the short sightedness of our elected representatives and certain businesses who surprise suprise are only interested maling a nice bit of cash for themselves
16857 Andrew YorkeUtter madness to be contemplating expansion amid the worst global economic crisis for nearly 100 years.
16858 Andrew YorkeUtter madness to be contemplating expansion amid the worst global economic crisis in nearly 100 years.
16859 John JamesWe do not need a 3rd runway at Heathrow Airport. In the next few years individuals will be reducing their usage of air travel as they begin to understand the detrimental effect their actions have on climate change. At that stage everyone will understand the folly of building more airports.
16860 Zoe
16861 Mal WilsonDestroying communities and displacing the people of those communities for the expansion of an airport is an utter disgrace.
16862 Anonymousif expansion can be turned down at gatwick and standstead because of residents and noise etc why is heathrow differnet our village in stanwell is full of traffic mainly lorries going to the airport re freight and the noise you cannot sit in the garden or have windows open at night as the droning of planes can keep you awake why ruin our peace and quiet airports need to consider people who live on flightpaths and not just greed re money
16863 AnonymousI am so angry about this. If everybody worldwide reused their plastic bags for one year and reverted to energy saving lightbulbs, the amount of carbon emissions saved would still be less than a London-New York return flight. This is the death knell for the planet, and we owe it to generations past and future, if not our own, to oppose this
16864 Neil LindermanI would rather die than live in a world where this goes on. I echo all the sentiments of the recent signatory who commented regarding emissions saved and expended by flying London-New York compared with reusing plastic bags and lightbulbs

16868 AnonymousApart from the environmental damage NOW. What about when oil runs out. There is no economically viable alternative at the moment, therefore the end of cheap flights. We will then be left with this and other white elephants which have drained the public purse at the expense of other essential services.
16869 Peter FordhamI have lived in the Hounslow and Ealing area much of my life and feel that the planned 3rd Runway is beyond a step too far. At present the noise and frequency of planes in some areas i.e. Isleworth and Heston, is almost unbearable. This noise (and pollution) should be being reduced and to actually be increasing it is so out of step with modern reality and environmental concerns. To destroy three (more) villages and hundreds of homes in the pursuit of money which in part will be going the a foreign owned company in BAA is disgusting. The 3rd runway must not go ahead.

16872 Jean WestFlights over densely populated areas is asking for a major disaster to happen, but we must reduce our flying overall, as it all contributes to global warming which will have a horrific affect on our planet.
16873 Laura Perkins
16874 Rachel EveredFlights from Heathrow already pump as much carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as five million cars every year. Climate change is the most serious threat facing humanity. How are we are going to get people to cut there CO2 emissions as reccommended by scientists if we just encourage them to fly more?!
16875 Ben BeadleThere are better ways to improve transport connections and expanding a dire airport like Heathrow is not one of them
16876 Anonymousthe noise over my area, Peckham Rye, is already so bad that you have to get up and close your windows at 4.30am every morning, we currently have 3 converging flight paths above us.... please say NO to more noise and pollution!!!

16892 Alan HardyAirfares need to have tax imposed on fosil fuels used. If we really need more airport capacity it should only be based at old "unused" military airstrips starting with a new terminal at RAF Northolt.
16893 Rhiannon JonesI feel so strongly that this should not happen. If the Government has any intention of reaching its emission targets then the Heathrow Expansion must be stopped!

16898 AnonymousThis is ridiculous! Dont the pledges made by the government to reduce carbon dioxide emissions mean anything? THe opinions of the public need to be taken into account. ARE YOU LISTENING GORDON?!!
16899 Angus Scott-BrownFlights over London were cancelled for G20. Not OK for them, but OK for millions of Londoners !
16900 Richard WilsonNo to more congestion, pollution, noise, concrete and global warming!
