Future Heathrow welcomes Government decision
15.01.09In response to the Government's announcement on a third runway at Heathrow, Lord Soley of Hammersmith, Campaign Director of Future Heathrow said:
"This is the right decision for Britain. It is a clear message that we are investing in our infrastructure and will give confidence to overseas investors that we are not going to allow Heathrow to slip behind the competition.
It is only right that environmental issues are considered but it is also important to balance these concerns with the needs of a modern economy.
Future Heathrow believes the measures set out by Government today will prove effective in managing the environmental impact of growth at Heathrow."
We recognise this was a tough decision for the Government but it is also the right decision.
