Responding to today’s proposals for a new runway at Heathrow airport, Dr. Doug Parr, Policy Director at Greenpeace, said:

“Heathrow’s owners seemed to have learned nothing since they were defeated in their last battle for a third runway.

They have just reheated and rehashed the tired and flawed arguments that failed so categorically last time around.

BAA’s new runway plans simply extend the shadow hanging over West London to blight more villages and more lives with noise, pollution and the threat of demolition.

It’s time they realised Londoners will make sure their zombie runway will never be built.”
