There is growing expectation that Theresa May will accept the recommendation of Sir Howard Davies’s airports commission to expand Heathrow rather than Gatwick, with cabinet ministers telling the Guardian that the west London plans offered much higher-value returns than the alternative.
A government committee chaired by the prime minister is understood to be on the verge of deciding whether new runway capacity will be added at Gatwick or Heathrow, and industry insiders expect a verdict on 18 October. Heathrow is hoping an 11th-hour push pegged to Brexit will secure approval to build a third runway.
If you would be affected we’d like to hear from you. Perhaps your home would 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?
