Climate campaigners win Heathrow expansion case
Controversial plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport have been thrown into doubt after a court ruling. (www.bbc.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
They need to go back to the original proposal of a Thames Airport Hong Kong style with similar connections to downtown London. They could then have four parallel runways and close Heathrow or at least degrade its function.
This plan would leave lots of space for newcomers to build homes after opening of the airport so then they could complain of airport noise as has happened at every airport.

Just when you think you couldn't be more disappointed in the British this comes along. England has lost its way which to me personally is very sad.
The 3rd runway at LHR was vital to the UK's economic future. It also seems that no one took into account that aircraft burning needless fuel circling in holding patterns would have been eliminated. The 3rd runway would have also improved taxi delays to the active departure runway as LHR would have no longer been forced to only have one departure runway during peak departure times saving fuel burn as well.
This decision hurt the environment and the climate. It's a shame the flight shamming idiots and ignorant government officials couldn't get their arms around actual facts.
I believe in climate change and supported the 3rd runway at LHR, because I try to have something others don't seem to want to practice these days, common sense!!!

These nut jobs exist to destroy capitalism.....the world won't know the difference of another runway or ten of them. It's a way for these nitwits to feel important......
correct
Time these climate protestors realised climate is cyclical and in a few decades they'll be protesting because its too cold!
Scheduling will have to finesse many travelers, but at least at Heathrow the old village and the motorway north of the field will survive.
