Heathrow expansion

HAL expansion would bring the following benefits to Buckinghamshire:

• deliver new employment opportunities for highly skilled roles and apprentices
• improve reliability and frequency of public transport connections including links to High Wycombe and Aylesbury along with Western Rail Link to Heathrow (WRLtH)
• HAL has promised to deliver 'no net increase' in road traffic as part of the expansion. This commitment is supported by the government in the Airports National Policy Statement
• no aircraft being held in the Bovingdon stack over parts of Buckinghamshire
• increase the national and international connectivity for Buckinghamshire
• an improved recreational and natural environment which would provide a Green Gateway legacy in southern Buckinghamshire and the wider Colne Valley
