The central government direction of additional runway development rides roughshod over the wishes of local people. It subsidises the growth of the most environmentally adverse form of transport and it must be opposed.

I am opposed to airport expansion - it is crazy for the government to approve these plans and not to tax aviation fuel. Climate change is the biggest threat facing us today.

we cannot afford to keep pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. we are causing enough problems as it is, more air travel is the last thing we need.

I believe that the airport expansion will have a detrimental effect on the environement which is unacceptable.

Please reconsider these expansion plans, we MUST start taking responsibility for the future of our world, and control the pollution levels that our transport causes. This really is more important than satisfying the public's desire for more cheap flights to the Costa Del Sol.
Thanks for reading.

If the goverment says it is committed to fighting climate change, why is it building new airports? surely this money would be better invested in finding less environmentally damaging ways to travel/ reducing the need to travel?

I feel that the aviation industry must be made to face up to facts about the damaging nature of its activities, in terms of environmental damage, and the most effective way of doing this is to charge a fair tax on fuel, such is levied on other methods of transport.
