Another industry association in support of Heathrow expansion

Never heard such rubbish!

UK's North East England Chamber of Commerce (NEECoC) stated (20-Jul-2016) it "firmly" believes the government will expand London Heathrow Airport because it is "the only logical decision – the question is how much UK competitiveness will be damaged by the repeated delays in reaching that point". NEECoC continued: "North East exporters play a vital role in the national economy. They need access to global markets and that has to come in large part via the UK’s hub airport. One thing we hope to see after the decision to leave the EU is the strengthening of trade links right around the globe. Businesses can only benefit from that if they can actually get there"
