Airport expansion is an emotive issue at present. Locally Bristol International Airport are also seeking massive expansion. There seems to be lots of false claims made about airports. One thing for sure though is that they export jobs from an area like ours through the airport with cheap package holidays and encouraging people to buy second homes in remote locations.

I have just signed up to join in with Greenpeace’s beneficial plot of land and have also written to our Prime Minister on the issue:-

Dear Prime Minister
I would like to urge you to change your mind on the third runway and expansion of Heathrow
Airport.
I have joined with thousands of others as a benefial owner of a plot of land in the way of the third
runway.
Air travel cannot be environmentally friendly and should in no way be subsidised. People who fly
should pay the true cost of the flight and that step alone would reduce demand and hence
expansion need.
Emission caps and offsetting schmes simply miss the point – we should not be expanding airtravel
or subsidising it at taxpayer expense.
Please halt your plans on the third runway for Heathrow. There is no shame in listening to
arguement and changing a position based on evidence and demand.
Sincerely,
Paul Crossley
