The government officially dropped the plan for the Midlands airport today and our communities remain standing. Thank you for staying loud throughout this fight. Keep watching the council meetings to ensure they stay true to their word.
The government has recently unveiled plans for increasing airport capacity across the UK. One of their proposals is to build a brand new airport in the Midlands. This would be at least as big as Heathrow airport and have as many as 60 million passengers each year.
In order to build this airport two beautiful, historical villages and 1400 hectares of un-spoiled green-belt land will have to be razed to the ground. Many people will lose their homes and jobs. Businesses will fail and part of Britain will disappear forever.
We need your help to stop this now.
The stories coming in from residents facing eviction are heartbreaking and confirm why we must stop this airport plan. I am currently compiling all your comments to send directly to the planning committee. Send a quick email to your regional representative today to demand they protect our green belt.

The scale of this opposition has grown far beyond what the developers expected. Use your phone to text three friends the link to this page and tell them why protecting our green belt is non-negotiable.

This is just madness. We have enough airports already. Why destroy beautiful villages for more noise and pollution?
