Today

Available for over a year

Sir Howard Davies' Airports Commission is set to publish its highly controversial report into where to build an extra runway in the south-east of England. There are three options on the table: A third runway at Heathrow, the expansion of an existing runway at the same airport or a second, new runway at Gatwick. Local passions for and against all three schemes are running high, and Dan Whitworth has been to speak to people on both sides of the argument who live and work in and around both airports. On Thursday there was a report about the possible expansion of Gatwick. In the second of our reports Dan Whitworth has been to speak to people living and working near Heathrow to find out what they think of the plans for expansion there.
