Comments on: No Third Runway at Heathrow http://www.boris-johnson.com/2008/12/16/no-third-runway-at-heathrow/ Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:46:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nick http://www.boris-johnson.com/2008/12/16/no-third-runway-at-heathrow/comment-page-2/#comment-31492 Nick Sat, 11 Jun 2011 23:17:15 +0000 http://www.boris-johnson.com/?p=576#comment-31492 I think the new airport in the Thames is an excelent idea! South Essex and North Kent need the development and if carefully integrated with other infrastuctural upgrades it would be a boon to the SE and the country. But you are going to have to hurry if air travel is not to be a restricted privelige. I live in Gillingham and would expect to be able to see the aircraft taxiing from my house. Please get on with it! We should call it "Boris Johnson International"! Can you get it satrted by 2015? I think the new airport in the Thames is an excelent idea!

Traffic on the M4 heading to Heathrow would be reduced and flights from both these airports have far less impact on the surrounding area. We desperately need long-haul flight facilities from this side of UK. How about the third runway being moved west, ie Cardiff or Bristol?

As for the need to increase fuel taxes to pay for Carbon Capture technologies, we already have these technologies, they are called trees. what sort of country are we going to leave to our children. Somebody Please Stop this Corporate Driven Madness.

London is bad enough without increasing pollution from the air. I remember driving near Heathrow 10 years ago and apart from the noise, the smell of aircraft fuel was appalling. How anyone can live in the area of the airport I do not know. How can Brown and cronies justify their decision to allow another runway? They ignore everything the public say but WHY? What is going on? We do not need this runway. We do not need the expansion of Stansted either. People matter not big business and their profits because that is probably what this is really about - MONEY - but whose pocket will it go into? Answers on postcards to Boris Johnson please. congratulations, a politician talking sense. London is bad enough without increasing pollution from the air.

If this were a football match that would be a thrashing victory of 8 - 1 for the NO Lobby. However the Government chooses to ignore the result and many Labour MPs who argued against the 3rd Runway in the earlier debate caved in to the pressure by Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown. Well the replay will come in the next General Election. The Goverment has signed its own Death Certificate !

I know very little of these things, but is that enough? Bearing in mind what good lawyers charge these days, that should cover four or five days work.
