LEADER of Hillingdon Council, Ray Puddifoot, has said the council will continue to fight the third runway.
In a statement he said: "This proposed expansion will lead to the destruction of homes, detrimental air quality, increased traffic congestion and noise pollution. The impacts on communities across London and in Hillingdon will be immense.
“How the Government can ignore the overwhelming opposition to these plans is staggering. This clearly shows that Gordon Brown is putting the interests of business over those of the people and the environment."
He added: "This is not the end of our fight and we will continue to oppose the plans on a number of fronts including possible legal action.”
