airport expansion in the SE comes up against the basic problem that no-one wants more noise, more construction activity and anything that affects their house values
There are NO votes in it - and as this is some sort of democracy the politicians listen......
The law will allow objectors years of cases, appeals and reviews
Lets just save ourselves a lot of cost, angst and frustration and give the idea up - go for larger aircraft into LHR & Gatwick and expand the regional airports; extend Eursstar services further into Europe as well
