On Sunday, I was talking with a chap who lives in Stanwell. He told me the residents have now received a "consultation paper" re the new runway and this refers exclusively to a new runway, NW of the airport, heading toward Datchet. The M25 will go in a tunnel and a reservoir will be filled in. Still, the way these things go in the UK, I doubt many of us on this forum will live long enough to see the eventual outcome!
