Heathrow already carries £17.6bn in debt, and expansion means stacking billions more risk onto an overstretched balance sheet. Expansion isn’t “investment” - it’s a balance-sheet gamble with passengers footing the bill.
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion

The true cost of #Heathrow expansion remains opaque. Who will pay for the new road and rail links? Who will pay for the carbon cost? Who will fund the NHS? We certainly don't want our taxes wasted on #Climate destroying airport expansion! Do you?
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion #PublicCost

Heathrow expansion could burden taxpayers and travellers alike. With billions in hidden infrastructure, carbon, and financing costs, it’s time to ask: is this really worth it?
#NoThirdRunway #HeathrowExpansion #PublicMoney

The true cost of Heathrow expansion remains unclear. Who will pay for the new road and rail links? Who will pay for the carbon cost? Who will fund the NHS? Without transparency, the public will be left footing the bill.

🇬🇧 Numbers don’t lie. 3rd Heathrow runway would hurt regions, not help. DfT predicts growth at non-London airports 24% lower by 2030, 17% lower by 2050 if Heathrow expands.

Britain deserves balanced growth, not London at the expense of elsewhere.

Unfortunately, people still don’t realise what #HeathrowExpansion actually means. FIVE rivers will be diverted, which is unprecedented. Here’s one of them – the Colne Brook. The M25 and local roads would also be diverted.

Some people mistakenly think the new third runway is being built on a kind of urban limbo land, already blighted by the airport. Does this look urban or blighted to you?

hago 14.39 GMT Green party condemns Heathrow expansion plan, saying it will "trash climate targets’ just to help the very rich The Green party has strongly condemned the plan announced today (see 11.49am) for a third runway at Heathrow. In a statement, the Green MP Sian Berry said: M4 This government is so pathetically in the pocket of Heathrow bosses and the most wealthy frequent flyers, that it will support this ridiculous and costly plan for expansion, despite the miserable disruption it will cause to everyone else’s daily lives. These plans will trash our vital climate targets, and meanwhile cause misery on the roads, all for the benefit of the very richest people.

The economics of air transport in Europe Part one: Air transport and growth

Judging by the summary of this new #NEF analysis, there is a huge flaw in economic arguments being used for #HeathrowExpansion... Tourism sucks more money OUT of the UK economy, than it brings IN.

IATA Statement on UK Government’s Heathrow Expansion Announcement The International Air Transport Association (IATA) welcomes the UK Government’s renewed commitment to unlocking economic growth, enhancing global connectivity, and supporting trade and tourism by expanding Heathrow Airport, the country’s primary hub. “The government’s long-term goal to stimulate the economy by expanding global connectivity with a Heathrow expansion is spot on. However, the political haste […] The post IATA Statement on UK Government’s Heathrow Expansion Announcement first appeared on AsiaNewsToday.

Catastrophic impact of a THIRD runway at Heathrow - Colne Valley Regional Park A THIRD runway at Heathrow will have a catastrophic impact on the Colne Valley Regional Park. It will devastate local communities and sever ecological connectivity between the Thames and the Chilterns...

If you live in #StAlbans #Amersham #Uxbridge or other parts of #Herts #Bucks & #London you may think the impact of #HeathrowExpansion is remote. But building a runway over 5 rivers will harm the connection for fish & otters between the #Thames & #Chilterns

This isn’t about giving ordinary families the freedom to travel. This is about enabling a small, privileged elite to fly more and more. In the UK, less than 3% of people take 30% of all flights.

Heathrow announces £49 bn expansion plan including third runway The third runway is expected to cost £21 bn, with flights projected to begin within the next decade. The remaining privately-funded investment will be used for airport expansion and modernisation.

They must incorporate all the necessary disruption and closures of the M25 into their plans. M25 re-routing ALONE will add years & add billions to the cost.

Is #Heathrow's problem that it is fundamentally in the wrong place (built up, crowded area)?

Is #HeathrowExpansion just compounding past errors?

Do we even need that level of traffic expansion through "the premium UK airport"

#news #itvnews #c4news #skynews #bbcnews

Today's deadline for #HeathrowExpansion proposals has resulted in two options, one from Heathrow Airport and one from the Arora Group.

In this clip, Charles Long, political adviser, outlines the fundamental issues with airport expansion that neither plan manages to address.

Heathrow Expansion – the Colne Valley Regional Park’s position - Colne Valley Regional Park We remain publicly and determinedly opposed to the plans to expand Heathrow Airport, which will cut the Park in two, changing it for ever. 1200 acres of Green Belt will be lost and many more hundreds ...

#HeathrowExpansion will disconnect the internationally-rare chalk streams of the Chilterns from the #Thames. For Eels and other migratory fish to get to #StAlbans, #Hemel, #Chesham, #Amersham etc etc (or back to the Sargasso Sea) this is catastrophic.

One of the most under-reported effects of #HeathrowExpansion is its concreting over of 4 rivers into 2km-long tunnels under the runway and the diversion of a fifth through a landfill site.

Heathrow’s misleading visualisation. In fact building a third runway over 1200 hectares of green belt, 2 villages, 5 rivers and the M25 will be catastrophic and unimaginably disruptive for the environment and people

#HeathrowExpansion ? too many eggs in one basket ?

#HeathrowExpansion concreting over parks, obliterating villages, diverting and putting rivers and motorways underground. We hope the government realises this is a truly terrible, hugely disruptive and ridiculously expensive idea.
