Public Meeting on the Government’s Consultation on the Proposed 3rd Runway & 6th Terminal

As you may be aware the Government has published its consultation paper on the proposals for 3rd runway and 6th terminal. The consultation will run for 14 weeks from 22 November 2007 – 27th February 2008.

Local residents and community organisations have the opportunity to submit their views on the proposals set out in the consultation document.

These proposals would have a devastating effect on our local community. I am writing to invite you to a public meeting to discuss the consultation paper and how we can respond locally to the Government proposal.

I have arranged two meetings to accommodate the attendance of local residents. The meetings will be held as follows;

Thursday 29th November at Heathrow School, Harmondsworth Lane, Sipson, West Drayton at 8pm and

Monday 3rd December at Harlington Baptist Church, Harlington High Street, Harlington at 8pm

If you wish to register your views you can send a written response to the freepost address provided below or via a response form that is available on http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/open/heathrowconsultation/ . The Department for Transport are also planning a series of public exhibitions. The dates and venues are available on their website.

Please ensure this is done before the consultation deadline of 27 February 2008.
