Despite running on a platform to halt any further expansion of Heathrow Airport, today London’s Mayor dismissed multiple invitations from Zack Polanski AM to work together in pursuit of that shared goal.
When prompted to join forces in lobbying government against any approval of the Airport National Policy Statement (ANPS), the Mayor repeatedly dismissed, and even mocked, Zack’s outstretched hand.
Reflecting after the exchange, Green Party London Assembly Member Zack Polanski said:
“Expanding Heathrow Airport would be dangerous, even deadly, for every Londoner interested in breathing clean air or swimming in the Thames anytime in the next century.
“The Mayor ran on a campaign promising to oppose Heathrow expansion, yet when I present him with opportunity after opportunity to take action, he refuses to engage with me.
“Why won’t the Mayor work across party lines to stop Heathrow expansion in its tracks?”
