John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington "The Government has betrayed the communities that will be devastated by this massive expansion of Heathrow Airport and betrayed all those who believed the Prime Minister’s promise this week to tackle climate change."

Nick Hurd, MP for Ruislip and Northwood "I am totally opposed to a third runway at Heathrow Airport. People want a better airport not a bigger one. We were told the expansion would end with terminal five and that promise should be honoured. The question is, where will it end?"

John Randall, MP for Uxbridge "The Prime Minister said last week that 'the foundation of our approach to climate change is providing clear, credible and long term signals'. How can building a third runway be described as a credible approach to climate change?"

Councillor Ray Puddifoot, Leader of Hillingdon Council "We have been waiting for this consultation for some time and have just twelve weeks to respond, which is far too short. We recognise the international status of the airport but for the sake of our residents, we have to say enough is enough." Click here to help Hillingdon Council respond to the consultation.

Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London "I am firmly opposed to this expansion of Heathrow Airport as it runs contrary to all the growing evidence on the impact of aviation on climate change. The Government will need to demonstrate why demand couldn’t be better met by investing in rail infrastructure."
