Tim mentioned the line-up for this meeting: Kathryn Harper-Quinn, John Stewart, Cllr Barbara Reid, Cllr Peter Thompson (Chair) and Geraldime Nicholson. ----------------------------------------------------- PETER THOMPSON'S introduction kicked off by saying that(and I don't have a Press Release..or shorthand notes!)"We seek to have the best quality of life for ourselves and our families...... and we need Heathrow to be more responsible as neighbours" "Cllr Barbara Reid is spearheading our Campaign" "We have a constant battle against Heathrow's insatiable appetite for expansion" "We have stop(for aircraft noise)/start tuition in some Hounslow Schools and that is not the way to educate our kids" (more applause). "Expansion at Heathrow is not a "fait accompli". We must not give up. "Invitations for this meeting were extended to BAA(?) etc..and no responses were received." I though that Cllr Thompson spoke very well and impressed his audience...and his speech latest much longer that my notes suggest! |
