Green MEP Dr. Caroline Lucas has submitted damning evidence to the Government’s consultation on the proposed expansion of Heathrow Airport, and labelled the plans for a third runway as ‘irresponsible, deceptive and environmentally disastrous’. 

In her consultation response, Dr Lucas condemns the proposals, citing the devastating effects on climate change, noise and air pollution, as well as risks to public safety, that would be caused by expanding Heathrow capacity from 430,000 flights to between 700,000 and 800,000 flights per year.
