Stop new airport

More than 70 local councils are backing the building of a new London airport on the edge of the Thames estuary.
They must be stopped!
They must be stopped!
If the proposal were to go ahead, it would:
destroy huge areas of bird-rich wetlands where avocets and marsh harriers breed
destroy the UK’s largest heronry at the RSPB’s Northward Hill reserve
have a devastating impact on the nearby Thames Estuary which is the fourth most important estuary for waterbirds in the UK
And all this despite the fact that these places are protected under national and international wildlife law.
If the Government permit this development to go ahead, it would effectively signal a weakening of the protection all our wildlife has.
