I realise that the UK needs to be competitive, but surely we should be leading the way in providing alternatives to aviation.
Allowing air travel to increase makes a mockery of the effort we as a family put into walking and cycling as an alternative to using a car.
Give our children's planet a future.

I am therefore asking you to oppose the expansion or, if you find yourself completely unable to do that, at least abstain from supporting the government on this.

I am increasingly anxious about the Government's intention to build another runway at Heathrow. Would you be willing to reveal which way your thoughts are tending on this matter in advance of the preliminary vote tomorrow?

I realise this issue has many facets and vested interests, but they include vast-scale, unchecked polluters. The long-term future of our environment cannot be ignored: generations to come will hold us responsible if it is wrecked.

Many thanks.

I feel any more aircraft, road traffic, related services etc in the Heathrow area is untenable. Access to the rest of the Uk would be improved with a hub out of this already congested corridor.

The greatest challenge we face in the next few years is to turn around our oil-based juggernaught economy, which is both going to crash because UK oil is in decline, and, on a worldwide basis, going to drive the climate into total chaos. We should have been acting on this yesterday, there is no time left to lose. A third runway at Heathrow sends all the wrong signals and will be a white elephant by the tiime it is built.

You must vote against Heathrow expansion.

Nigel Goddard

As an Edinburgh South constituent, I urge you to do all that you can to oppose these plans.

You have on occasion voted against the Government whip on matters of urgency and conscience.

Aviation is deeply injust. So that mostly the rich can fly today, those in the noise shadow suffer misery and illness, and our planet is condemned to burn.

We don't need aviation - we have seen how the greed of big business does us more harm than good. But we need the earth, and we hold it in trust for our children.

Please, vote with the people, and against Heathrow expansion
