I disagree about the High Speed Rail - It's useless and a waste of money. I do agree with the airport. We need it now. Cancel HS2 and use it to fund the AIRPORT.

THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOANGRY. THESE POSH TWATS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LIFE IN THE ESTUARY. I KNOW BOTH SIDES OF THE THAMES VERY WELL, AND THIS WILL DESTROY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES LIVES. HAVE THEY EVER SAT ON A BEAUTIFUL SUMMERS EVENING AT LEIGH ON SEA? NO! HAVE THEY EVER WALKED ALONG THE COASTAL PATH AT GRAIN ON A SUMMERS EVENING? NO! CANVEY: DESTROYED LEIGH: DESTROYED GRAIN:DESTROYED SHEPPEY: DESTROYED SOUTHEND:DESTROYED WHITSTABLE:DESTROYED THIS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thames Estuary Airport: Wrong For Kent, Wrong For Britain

Now is not the time to borrow money for vanity projects. Many London airports could benefit from cheaper, more cost effective methods to boost capacity and effectiveness. In a time of austerity it is wiser to use existing infrastructure more prudently than spend money we do not have on luxury developments we do not need.

The estuary is unique and so large that it could not be recreated anywhere else in Europe, so mitigation is not possible.

The argument for a massive increase in aviation capacity cannot fit with the UK Governments targets to reduce emissions

[easterangel1]

No matter how impressive Lord Foster's plan may look the threats and the risks remain the same. An airport in the Thames Estuary is a complete non-starter ecologically, environmentally and economically, and to go through all these arguments again is a complete waste of everyone's time.
