For immediate release
West London Business, which represents over 800 businesses in West London, welcomes the Davies Commission decision to recommend expansion at Heathrow as the best solution to our shortage of airport capacity. This is very good news for West London and for the UK economy.
It has consistently been our view that expanding our national hub airport is the most logical transport option of the three chosen by the Commission. The UK needs greater hub operations to meet the UK’s economic needs for international connectivity and trade links to existing and emerging long-haul markets. It will create new jobs, boost exports and freight volumes and stimulate economic growth, while costing the public sector nothing.
We believe expansion should and can be achieved within the necessary environmental conditions relating to noise and pollution.
Now the Government needs to act on the Davies Commission’s recommendation, which is the result of two years’ comprehensive consideration. We need a swift and clear
Government decision, with no more prevaricating, to get on with the job and build a hub airport more appropriate for the country’s economic needs.
