Closed Stop the Heathrow Airport expansion

Closed on

The UK government decided to build another runway at Heathrow Airport. This topic has been up for debate for many months & out of the 2 largest airports (Heathrow & Gatwick), the UK Government felt that another runway should be added to Heathrow. Since the news broke out, social media has received

thousands of people expressing their concern on the #HeathrowExpansion, stating that this should have gone to Gatwck . Heathrow itself, is already a mega sized airport & as a local resident, I can tell you how bad it can be with the noise & the releasing of jet fuel on the local resident houses & the other problem is that, they are promising jobs, but what about job loses! All it takes is another major attack, & people will not fly as much, which will lead to pressure on airlines & job losses.
