Dear Anna
I really empathise with what you're saying. It is profoundly wrong to compress and dump noise on small corridors and believe that it is civilised to allegedly make things better by making it intolerable for a significant minority. Aviation and Heathrow have been a 'special case' for too long. Rights, redress and above all equality is required in the redistribution of noise - all noticeably absent....... Oh yes, and some humanity.
For you, your family and tens of thousands like you, we need to stand up and bite back.
Whilst worst at Heathrow, up and down the country and across Europe there is a similiar underclass being defined by noise ghettos created by others abusing power.
The time is ripe for joining these communities up and petitioning/lobbying on a large scale.
Any one prepared to get Hacan to initiate or drive through a Human Rights Organisation? It's now or never though!

More poeple are negatively affected by Heathrow Airport AT THE MOMENT than any other airport in the world, certainly in Europe. Flight come over dense poplulation with many more households than any other airport being considered for expansion. It is both morally and ethically wrong to consdier increasing nightflights thus disturbing the sleep of many, many people, or to add a third runway., or to try to increase thenumber of flights overflying dense population.

The government promised no expansion. I voted for Justine Greening because of this promise. Please honour it.

With the EU threatening the UK with fines as a result of polution levels exceeding limits in London how can it be possible that Heathrow is being considered for expansion. It just does not make sense.

Noise in Hanwell from long haul planes flying much too low is unacceptable. Fly higher and make much less noise.

The noise of aircraft is already incredibly encroaching on our lives in Olde Hanwell, and on many occasions our cottage and our lights shake as the aircraft pass overhead. Goodness knows the effect more aircraft would have on our foundations, never mind our quality of life.

Opposed to expansion at Heathrow on ground of noise and pollution.The overall business model can be achieved with making better use of Stansted which is currently way under used.

No to another runway. There will be a huge increase in noise and pollution. Disruption of the whole area will be caused for many years during construction. The infrastructure is not adequate to sevice a large increase in traffic, the underground heavilly used now and will be unable to cope.

It is already so polluted & noisy living here another runway is too much. Heathrow apart from T5 is outdated & causes so much traffic congestiin and pollution.Building a hub elsewhere will provide job & a brand new airport will put us ona level with other modern airports. The area taken up by Heathrow can be used to build much needed housing and this will make more jobs and benefit everyone. Building another runway is a short term fix & will make like more unpleasant for thousands of people. Workers need somewhere to live snd there simply isn't enough housing in the West London area. I would say just keep T5 as that is the only decent part of Heathrow
