"I enjoy living in Chiswick for many reasons, being close to Heathrow (and being able to hop on a plane when I can, and easily) is one of them. As for the noise, I'm used to it and I knew the airport was here before I moved to Chiswick." No one in CHATR is asking for Heathrow to close - we are simply asking for it not to be massively expanded. BETTER NOT BIGGER is the message. Stop trying to making us out to be total Nimbies. A third runway will mean MORE noise and it is cynical to deny this. From what we know of the proposed new flight paths (if the runway is constructed) there will be little or no respite for existing areas that are already blighted by noise - and yes the further west you go the worse it gets. Equally importantly large areas that are not currently affected by aircraft noise will be blighted like the rest of us. THEY DID NOT CHOOSE TO BUY A HOUSE UNDER A FLIGHT PATH. May be they believed the assurances and utter claptrap that previous owners and operators of Heathrow came out with? |
