Greenpeace UK has joined forces with Hillingdon, Richmond, Wandsworth and Windsor and Maidenhead councils to prepare grounds for a joint legal challenge against Heathrow expansion.
More claimants could join the alliance in the coming days as media reports have suggested a final decision has now been delayed until next week.
Ministers have refused to rule out Heathrow from their airport development shortlist, leading the campaign group to prepare grounds for judicial review.

Commenting
on airport expansion ahead of a major Westminster rally against a third runway
at Heathrow tomorrow, Greenpeace
UK executive director John Sauven, who will be among the speakers, said:
“By
greenlighting a new runway ministers will set themselves up to fail on the twin
challenge of cutting air pollution and carbon emissions. This double whammy
isn’t a price worth paying to allow a minority of wealthy frequent flyers to
fly even more at the expense of the majority of us.

There's a story on the Guardian website today which has thrown up questions about what happened to the land that we bought some years ago to block plans for a third runway at Heathrow. It claims that the land was sold back to its original owner (which is true, and with good reason) and that we didn't publicise this (which is also true, also with good reason).

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.”

Greenpeace activists climb onto the top of a plane at London Heathrow Airport
The Cabinet reshuffle could unleash an unprecedented assault on our environment. It’s time mainstream politicians put their differences aside and worked together to stop George Osborne.

Responding to the re-emergence
of calls for the expansion of Heathrow airport, John Sauven, executive director
of Greenpeace UK, said:
“It’s high time the aviation
lobbyists realise their runway plans aren’t going to fly. The Prime Minister
has personally promised that it won’t happen, and the Transport Secretary is
firmly against it too.

Responding to news today that
the Government has reaffirmed the coalition agreement to restrict aviation
expansion and rule out a third runway at Heathrow, Joss Garman, senior campaign
at Greenpeace, said:
“This looks like an
embarrassing slap down for George Osborne, who has been very public in his
personal backing for more runways. It’s now clear that he’s lost the argument.
