WITH the Tory conference under way this week, Heathrow anti-expansion campaigners have welcomed confirmation scrapping a third runway is in the party’s manifesto.
Christine Shilling, press secretary of NoTRAG, said the campaign group would be holding David Cameron to that promise should he win next year’s General Election.
”Our communities have suffered long enough from aviation blight,” she said. “We’ve been lied to by governments and the aviation industry for years and years, so we will understandably be keen to see this commitment isn’t put on the back boiler.
”We’ve always believed we would win this fight. Now the electorate has a clear choice – vote for politicians who support unsustainable Heathrow expansion and the destruction of communities, or vote for politicans who realise continued expansion of Heathrow Airport is quite, quite unthinkable and should be ruled out for all time.”
