We also call on them to be honest about flying’s damaging effects on the climate (which extend far beyond the ‘direct operations’ they are promising to make ‘net zero’) and the implausibility of ‘green’ aviation being available on a large enough scale in time to avert climate catastrophe.”
Only saying "possibility of an appeal" IMHO this might indicate the end of the road for any further anti runway extension lobbying. Can anyone indicate the time limit for lodging an appeal in respect of the Judicial Review decision? Have tried on line but have no been able to determine it.
Seems the penny has finally dropped for these idiots. What a shame they did not have the sense to engage with the airport from the start rather than wasting everyone’s time and a lot of money in the process.
That aside, this is great news for the airport and hopefully we will see works start very soon. It’s a shame they not also adding the northern taxi link whilst all the equipment is there though.
