How would you be affected by a third runway at Heathrow?

The Airports Commission has recommended that a third runway should be built at Heathrow, with the £17bn expansion plan leading to 250,000 more flights a year and 70,000 new jobs.

If the recommendations go ahead and you would be affected we’d like to hear from you. Perhaps your home is one of the 783 to be demolished, or maybe you live in the village of Harmondsworth situated in the middle of the proposed expansion. Do you think the runway should be built? What are you worried about the most - air quality, climate or noise? Or perhaps your business would benefit from the development?
