| Everyone in Chiswick should stop moaning about the noise. You are very happy to use Heathrow to go on holiday or business trips. Try living anywhere in Hounslow. The die was cast when BAA T5 and all the new infrastructure was approved, and a move to Essex or North Kent was rejected or not investigated. Given the investment in T5 it would be better to fully utilise the existing runways with multi modal operation. The money saved by not building a third runway, terminal 6 and demolishing Sipson could be spent moving the residents of west Hounslow to new housing in Sipson itself. Stop being Nimbys and think creatively, and work on the advantages of eventually moving the whole damn thing to the other end of Crossrail. ie Maplin Sands, for which the planning permission is still extant. |
