What to know about the UK’s Heathrow Airport runway expansion plan
Heathrow's third runway can be built in 10 years, Reeves says
Heathrow's third runway can be built and operating in a decade's time, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said. Reeves told the BBC she wanted to see "spades in the ground" in the current Parliament and planes to start using the runway by 2035.
The third runway is part of its drive to lift the U.K. economy out of a long period of stagnation, Treasury chief Rachel Reeves said in a speech on Wednesday.
It is the rich and the corporations who will take the lion’s share of the benefits from Labour’s and all airport expansions, while the poorest around the world pay the costs.
Rachel Reeves is facing fierce opposition within Labour over her plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
U.K. Treasury chief Rachel Reeves says that the new Labour government is backing the construction of third runway at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Rachel Reeves confirmed plans for a third runway at London Heathrow Airport this morning, (Wednesday, January 29). The ambitious project has been backed by the airport itself, claiming it is the 'bold, responsible vision the UK needs to thrive in the 21st century'.
Britain's Labour government will back the construction of a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport to boost trade and economic growth, finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Wednesday. Successive governments have dithered over whether to expand the site to the west of London,
Increasing the airport's size would also put pressure on the road network around Heathrow. National Highways says the busiest section of the M25 is junction 10 to the south of the airport. The most recent iteration of Heathrow’s expansion plans feature a third runway to the northwest of its existing two, with the M25 being rerouted underneath.
Campaigners in a village which could be partially demolished to make way for a third runway at Heathrow airport have said the plans could "smash our community".
Hundreds of homes could be demolished in the west London villages of Harmondsworth and Longford if the expansion gets the green light. | ITV National News
