Heathrow is already over expanded. It is in a built up area and more flights will not only effect the quality of life of residents in the flight path, but cause more raod congestion not making Heathrow a place that people want to use. Roads are already congested into London from Heathrow, so building in the Thames Estuary would be more beneficial to those who want to fly, especially business men & women bringing them directly to the city centre without the need to for congestion on the roads

We should recognise that the world has finite resources and should be restricting flying, not encouraging it

Aircraft noise affects my health and stops me getting a proper nights rest. leaving me tired and wasted, unable to function properly.

HOW can you contemplate subjecting many thousands of people to the inhuman agony of noise & smell of virtually constant aircraft. When did money become more important than people? Show some backbone & put people first.

The number of deaths caused by air pollution should make this government stop in its tracks pushing for Heathrow expansion.

The ongoing debate us an embarrassment for this country. Build a fantastic new airport in the Thames Estuary, take the noise blight away from millions if people, create a new village at Heathrow, bring us into the 21st century and put a stop to this BORING and UNPOPULAR constant regression to an idea way past it's sell by date.

Heathrow and the other 4 London airports can handle passenger growth over the next 40 years without more runways. In the meantime better use of existing capacity of the five London airports will provide the capacity needed. There is no need for 35% of Heathrow to be used for international transfers that unlike everyone else pay no aviation tax. They cause 35% of Heathrow's noise and pollution. The beneficiaries are the airlines and Heathrow. The benefits to everyone else of a single hub airport are a myth!

Heathrow is too close to London (inside the M25) with approach flight paths overflying the financial and parliamentary centres of UK, not to mention dense residential population. It is in the wrong place. Further expansion would pose huge safety risks as well as major disruption to millions of Londoners. Heathrow may have been acceptable in the previous century but Politicians mus bite the bullet and build a new hub, ideally in the Thames Estuary, which would be fit for the long term future of Britain. ,

A third runway is a terrible idea, build the Thames Estuary airport instead.
