Boris - Uxbridge

Rumours abound that Boris is applying to be the Conservative candidate in Uxbridge at the next election.

It's would be an interesting choice for Boris: half of Uxbridge works on the airport!

Some companies are headquartered in the town because of the proximity of Heathrow; and, of course, residents have the convenience of an airport on the doorstep with plenty of destinations available for their leisure and business trips.

Uxbridge is not under the flightpath and wouldn't be with 3/4 parallel rwys.

There was an interesting piece on LBC (regional radio station recently gone "national") earlier today, they sent a reporter to talk to Uxbridge locals, and Boris's idea of closing Heathrow went down like a lead balloon.


So will the local Conservatives select Boris? probably.
Will he win the seat? probably.
Will his airport policy change? almost certainly.
