You are specking an an airport v similar to London City, and we already have London City

It won't be a new airport, it would be the third runway, used for short haul flights with a high speed link to runways 27 R&L for long haul connections.
 
I live in London and tbh I really couldn't care less. I'm guessing a lot of people feel the same, especially those who don't live here...

You wait to see how much its going to cost the public purse and how much disruption its going to cost. A new hospital? 10 new schools? Honestly this will cost an extravagant fortune and don't expect the two Spanish companies who have been lecturing everyone about whats good for the UK to stump up much of the dough.

Unless of course if it happens to be your home and you'll now have to put your life on hold for the next 10+ years whilst this grinds its way through the courts.

Curious as to how many living there make earn their living from the airport.

The architects will burn through £350 million a week alone. Compulsory purchases on two villages (and that new-ish incinerator across the road) at London prices, re-routing the M25, a new Piccadilly line link, the compensation promised to local residents. Honestly this will cost billions before they even think about building a runway and a terminal. Happy days for those of us in the trade!

That's why I said "no loss to the nation" and not "no loss to the people living there".
 
I guess you could say that about a lot of towns of villages in the country, most even.

Yes, that's why any new runways should be built over 1950s semis rather than scheduled ancient monuments of national parks. Heathrow is an ideal location as the land there already has little amenity value.

Or better still, not at all when they're not needed.

I do love the way so many taxpayers have sided with big business that we must simply have more runways. It ain't going to be big business paying for them. Cheers for the cash mugs.
