If you love East Suffolk, or if you think spending 10 years creating the biggest construction site in Europe to build a massive seaside nuclear plant is NOT the most efficient way to create renewable energy and help climate change, please sign this. stopsizewellcpetition.com/

#HeathrowExpansion is an ill-judged, weak-willed, crippingly expensive, environmentally disastrous, potentially illegal, illogical, band-aid solution to aviation expansion. Thank you @ZacGoldsmith @JustineGreening @johnmcdonnellMP @NoR3Coalition #NoThirdRunway

I've used Heathrow, it's a great airport, but I can't support a vote to build a 3rd runway there. The environmental impact will harm my children, my grandchildren and generations to come. I'll be urging others to vote the same way.
