Both Labour and Conservative front benches have moved considerably in the last few months, and "get" the needs of our residents who woud experience continous overflying if it was not for runway alternation.
With thanks to John Stewart - HACAN for putting this together.
Theresa Villiers on the trials in yesterday’s Commons debate on aviation:
Theresa Villiers "we are trialling the tactical use of greater operational freedoms at Heathrow. This is very sensitive, because those freedoms mean that occasionally there will be some incursions into the respite period, with occasional use of both runways for departures, or, occasionally, use of both runways for arrivals. However, I emphasise that that is not mixed mode and the Government remain committed to runway alternation and the benefits it brings. Very careful consideration will be given to the impact of the trial on local communities. I emphasise that the measures being trialled are only to be used to improve resilience, and prevent or recover from disruption, and not to increase capacity, which remains capped at current levels".http://www.publications.parlia
