CPRE South East
Campaigning to Protect the South East's Countryside
CPRE South East strongly opposes the government's proposal for a third runway at Heathrow.
January 2009. Edward Dawson, director of CPRE South East, comments on the government decision to press ahead with a third runway. "CPRE feels that the regional aspects of Heathrow Airport have not been fully taken into account. Expansion of Heathrow is likely to be detrimental to the green environment of the South East. One of the problems of aviation policy has been the failure of government to make clear decisions for the longer term. Now that the Government has made a decision in principle, the implications of this development can be assessed in detail. We remain opposed to this development for several reasons, mainly relating to its location and to a whole range of environmental and other impacts."
