Created on

Heathrow Airport expansion has been the subject of heated debate for many years.

The expansion plans for a new runway and terminal were released on 18 June 2019 but how much disruption would the project cause?

The London Assembly Environment Committee will tomorrow discuss the Heathrow expansion plans in relation to air pollution, aviation noise and carbon emissions.



The guests are:

  • George Davies, Head of Expansion Sustainability & Environment, Heathrow
  • Matt Gorman, Director of Sustainability and Environment, Heathrow
  • Tony Caccavone, Director of Surface Access, Heathrow
  • Jenny Bates, Air Quality Campaigner, Friends of the Earth
  • Cait Hewitt, Deputy Director, The Aviation Environment Federation
  • Paul Beckford, Policy Director, No Third Runway

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 24 July at 10.00am in The Chamber, City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).

Media and members of the public are invited to attend.

The meeting can also be viewed LIVE via webcast or on our YouTube channel.
