No Heathrow Expansion

Posted on News and Views by Southwark Green Party · July 13, 2018 1:31 PM

The decision of two out of Southwark's three Labour MPs to vote in favour of building a third runway at Heathrow airport is bitterly disappointing.
Neil Coyle (Bermondsey and Old Southwark) and Harriet Harman (Camberwell and Peckham) have failed to protect their constituents from increased plane noise and air pollution. Worse still, they have increased the chances of catastrophic global warming in years to come, because an expanded Heathrow will stop the UK from meeting its legally binding targets to avert climate change. 
We congratulate Helen Hayes (MP for Dulwich and West Norwood) on taking a principled and far-sighted stand. But our other elected representatives cannot defend their support for this disastrous project.

Will our MPs oppose airport expansion?

Southwark_News_no_new_runways.jpgWe're asking our three Southwark MPs if they will oppose airport expansion - both to protect residents from noise and pollution and to combat climate change. The question has been asked in Southwark News and by individual members. We are still waiting for the MPs to let us know where they stand. If you live in Southwark, you can help by emailing your MP:

  • Neil Coyle (Bermondsey and Old Southwark): [email protected]
  • Harriet Harman (Camberwell and Peckham): [email protected]
  • Helen Hayes (Dulwich and West Norwood): [email protected]

Please remember to include your address, so that they know you live in their constituency.

Be alert: noise and smog must be reduced

Noise pollution from Heathrow already affects Southwark residents

The House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee has published its report. Though the report focuses on the Heathrow expansion plans, the Committee noted with concern the air pollution levels in London and the lack of action to tackle the problem.
