Infrastructure in need of upgrading

"You have repeatedly refused to even acknowledge or do not know that the infrastructure concerned is in need of upgrading now never mind by 2030. "


A very valid point about infrastructure, one that many outside the favoured south east are made aware of through their daily experience of creaking transport networks which have had precious little investment over the years. The point is that if this public investment goes into the south east yet again the national economic imbalance continues and areas of potential growth elsewhere continue to be starved.


Heathrow should pay its fair share of infrastructure work which enables any extra runway - be it rail or road provision. At the moment it looks as though this is not going to be the case with the subsidy dressed up as for national economic benefit when in reality it will merely improve south east infrastructure primarily for the benefit of the south east.
