New airport?
So how would you solve the small matter of massive social upheaval from the workers and businesses located around Heathrow and in the M4/M40 corridor?
If any new airport is built it theoretically needs to be located west of London and preferably slightly further north/south, so the predominantly east/west traffic flows by-pass London.
Birmingham is too far out, unless that's what HS2 is really about? Any other suggests? Upper Heyford?
Unfortunately successive governments have created this impossible situation and no amount of prevarication and dithering is going to result in an ideal solution.
