Local MP delivers �No Third Runway� message to Minister
One
last chance to sign petition against airport expansion
Local
MP Ann Keen�s campaign against a third runway has continued
with her submission to the Department of Transport�s consultation
process. Ann�s submission included the hundreds of letters
she has received from constituents, including many from users
of ChiswickW4.com
and BrentfordTW8.com,
along with her views on why a third runway should not be built
at Heathrow.
Ann
Keen said: �I felt it was vital that my views and those of
my constituents were heard at the highest level. My submission
expressed in the strongest terms that I oppose a third runway
being built at Heathrow. I detailed the severe problems the
existing aircraft numbers create in terms of noise over schools
and houses as well as the risks to health and made it clear
that the area would not be able to sustain a third runway.
I am very grateful to the users of ChiswickW4.com
and BrentfordTW8.com
for taking the time to write to me on this important issue
their letters and emails have greatly added to the submission.�
�I
am also putting together a large petition against a third
runway that I will present to the House of Commons it has
been signed by people across the community. I hope that people
will continue to sign this petition so that the true extent
of the community�s concern can be heard. If all the users
of the websites sign the petition it will make a real impact
I hope that you will all visit the Hounslow
Council website and download it.�
Ann
has extended the deadline to receive copies of the petition
to this Wednesday - they can be sent to Ann
Keen, House of Commons, SW1A 0AA.
