Stop Heathrow Exp

Local campaign group fighting to preserve our community and those around it from Heathrow expansion

[The Aviation Environment Federation @The_AEF]

Today, DfT released the details of its mandate on so-called Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). We welcome the fact that there’s no mention of ‘guilt free flying,' but the Gov’t have still managed to make several misleading claims 😤🧵 1/9

‼️New campaign ✍️ 📋

No to night flights 🌙 ✈️!
https://t.co/uJ6J9F3CkD

There is no need for planes to arrive at Heathrow between 0430 and 0600 - and the disruption to those living below is enormous.

And respond to the official consultation 👂 👄

[Greg Hands @GregHands]

Night flights (the up to 16 flights each night, 0430-0600) are driven overwhelmingly by passenger convenience of boarding times in the Far East (HKG, SIN) not by freight.

Heathrow expansion is unconscionable, unenvironmental and unnecessary.

Heathrow reviewing facilities in bid to make site more efficient – campaigners fear it is a back door route to expansion

Will Heathrow’s third runway ever be built? Its new shareholders may decide https://t.co/fhfZxpJzqU

[Neil Spurrier @NeilSpurrier]

See Heathrow now denying it will no longer build 3rd runway. Either way, it says it wants to increase ATM to 505k. Against advice of @theCCCuk. Self-interest and no environmental consideration.

Heathrow third runway shelved as airport seeks to be ‘better not bigger’

[Stop Heathrow Exp @StopHeathrowExp]

“Night time aircraft noise is loathed by so many people around Heathrow, so news that the existing arrangements for scheduled night flights will continue for another three years is not good."
https://t.co/q4t1NWhndE

[Stop Heathrow Exp @StopHeathrowExp]

Our reaction: what a disappointment! Current regime to continue at Heathrow for an additional 3 years whilst DfT drag their heels finding information that has been out there for ages!

Heathrow set to pursue additional expansion before a 3rd runway...

[Stop Heathrow Exp @StopHeathrowExp]

What's interesting is Heathrow seem to brief one thing to the press and another to residents, suggesting some internal wrangling is underway. Perhaps no-one knows the true status of the 3rd runway right now. Does nothing for the ongoing blight for residents though.

[NoR3Coalition @NoR3Coalition]

Key paragraph on the third runway. According to this piece, the third runway could be some way off

[Stop Heathrow Exp @StopHeathrowExp]

Heathrow back in dithering mode over their plans for a 3rd runway. Perhaps because of an election in the offing?
Heathrow need to end the threat ASAP and the quickest way to do that is for the Airport to announce it is instead 100% focused on being a better, not bigger Airport.
