| No. | Name | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| 841 | ajk | I am against the expansion of airports to meet the demands of increased travel due to cheap flights. Fuel should be consistently taxed for all means of transport including aviation, and the environmental impact of flying should be fully evaluated and costed into ticket prices. Night flights effect hundreds of thousands of residents and should be banned. |
 |
||
| 840 | Lorna | Appreciate where you are and what's there. Then you won't ruin it trying to be somewhere else and have more things. |
|
||
| 839 | Ali Clark | I oppose the expansion of airports in the UK , on the basis that this will not help the congestion in air travel but will increase it, causing an unacceptable level of pollution and noise nuisance. The use of rail and other public transport should be invested in, to help with congestion problems. |
|
||
| 838 | Grace Parker | If we increase aviation even more, eventually there won't be much of an earth left to travel around when it is irreversibly damaged through climate change and pollution |
|
||
| 837 | Rob Hattersley | Cheap, untaxed air travel is simply unsustainable. The government should have the courage to tackle this issue instead of ignoring it. |
|
||
| 836 | Catherine | I am particularly opposed to the increase in food imports and exports, which is one reason for the increase in air traffic. Often, we import food that we grow ourselves, and export our own produce. This is totally unnecessary and has huge environmental costs. |
|
||
| 835 | Clare Newbould | I am opposed to airport expansion and believe the Government should be taking greater steps to enlighten the British public on the danger of air pollution on the environment. We should be REDUCING, not increasing air travel. I refuse to sit by and let this happen. If my daughter is to have a world in which to live at all, we have to act now. |
|
||
| 834 | Lawrence Railton | Air travel is a major cause of pollution, the proposed expansion of air ports will encourage more flying which is not necessary and is propped up by tax incentives. |
|
||
| 833 | Mike Lowe | I cannot believe the government wish to destroy the frail state of our environment by encouraging the destroying of wildlife and eco-systems to build new runways so that they can have more heavily polluting jets spoiling the environment for us and the generations to come. |
|
||
| 832 | Max | I understand that airlines are the worst contributor to global warming and want passengers to be made aware of the tonnage of greenhouse gas their flight will produce. I want taxes to be diverted from working families to a global fuel tax. I think it's immoral for airports to be expanded in an era when by all accounts a contribution from the air travel industry may turn this world into an unlivable place due to carbon emmissions. |
