On 25 October 2016 the Government announced that its preferred scheme for meeting the need for additional airport capacity in the south-east of England is a new north-west runway at Heathrow Airport.
The Department for Transport has launched a 16-week consultation asking for residents' views on the draft Airports National Policy Statement. The consultation closes at 11:45pm on 25 May 2017.
You can have your say and see the consultation online and there is also a series of 20 open events in areas that would be affected by the expansion of Heathrow.
