Harmonds Worth, Britain: In the historic West London in Harmonds Worth, Justin Bailey pointed out where the new boundary of Heathrow Airport will likely sit after the construction of the third runway – just beyond his house.
The 74 -year -old said, “Whenever I opened the front door, I need to put my ear guards,”
An hourly train ride from Harmonds Worth-Satti London has a great sense of a good news from the English village, which has a 12th-century church, grocery store, green and two pubs.
But Britain’s Finance Minister Reachle Ravis announced on Wednesday that the government backed a new runway in Heathrow.
The Prime Minister’s Labor Government hopes to expand the capacity at the busiest airport in Europe will help promote the most essential economic growth for the country.
Previous plans to increase the site have proposed to bulldoze several hundred homes in twin villages, which have been eradicated.
“We are a very closely tight community,” said Bailey, chair of the Stop Heathrow Extension Group, a campaign against the proposed development.
“Many people have been here for 50 years. His history, his memories are bound by the houses in which he lives.
He told AFP in his window in front of the yellow posters, “You will be scattered everywhere,” you can’t re -form the community because “no third runway”.
Although the streets of Harmonds are very calm, the same can be said for the aforementioned heavens where the aircraft can be seen regularly and can be heard as climbing or climbing.
Walking on the streets was 55 -year -old Leon Geniyon, who has been based in Longford for three decades.
When the planes land at the largest airport in Europe through the number of passengers and land, its houses are shaken and the conversation in the garden needs to be stopped until the plane passes.
“It is about to disrupt,” said Jenn, which is related to the airport to many people in the area.
“You hear that the plates are shaken in your cabinets and stir doors with various jewelry, and vibrations on the shelf.”
He says that if the third runway goes ahead, he is almost confident of demolishing his house and added that he will be “very sad” to leave Longford.
But Geneon also hoped that at the end of the announcement of the Ravis, Heathrow was prepared for the best part of the two decades after suggestions to expand.
“I don’t want to be a threat around me anymore,” said the father of a teenage child.
“I just want to be able to be able to resume my life, but also continue to be decent.”
Outside the five Bells pub, 18 -year -old student Fletcher Roger said he had “mixed feelings” about the runway number three plans.
“If it provides as much economic growth as the government says, unfortunately I have to say that I don’t mind.
“They are always winners and always losers,” he said. Group
At the same time, the wall was pulled, a wall of clothes that contained a close picture of the plane that would present the theory that the campaign group says residents will eventually face.
He emphasized that more flights would damage the climate change.
“Keep the limits. “Make a better heathrow, not a big hath.
The proposals to expand Heathrows have long been subjected to fears on legal challenges, political opposition and the effects of environment and noise pollution.
