MP continues fight against Heathrow expansion

30th January 2009

Windsor MP Adam Afriyie has continued his fight against Heathrow expansion plans, on the behalf of local residents.

Speaking in the Parliamentary debate on Wednesday 28^th January, Mr Afriyie raised concerns about a possible rise in night flights after 2012, urging the Prime Minister to see reason over the proposed third runway.

Despite being disappointed that the motion proposed by the Conservative Party, which calls for the Government to re-think its expansion plans, was defeated by only 19 votes, Mr Afriyie has vowed to keep up the pressure on the Government.  

‘ I will continue to hold the Government to account over their ill thought out plans for Heathrow. I urge local residents to keep supporting me in this fight and sharing their thoughts and concerns with me.’

I believe

People are happier when making their own decisions.

Business is the engine of the economy that generates our jobs, incomes and taxes.

Government should not interfere in our lives beyond protecting and defending us.
