Third Runway Consultation at Hammersmith Town Hall on Monday 6 March

The new face of Shepherd's Bush?

On Monday 6 March the Department for Transport is holding a Third Runway consultation exhibition at Hammersmith Town Hall.

H&fNoThirdRunway will be at the Town Hall on 6 March between 11am and 8pm, protesting.

Although Heathrow has not yet released its expected flight paths for the Third Runway, it is certain that many Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush residents will be overflown by aircraft.

Local MP Andy Slaughter is leading the campaign against the Third Runway at Heathrow, largely because its flight path will lie directly above Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith. That's very bad news for pretty much everyone in our neighbourhood. As a result, opposition to the new runway crosses party lines, with both Labour and local Tories coming together in a rare expression of solidarity to oppose what could be a very, very noisy addition to Shepherd's Bush.
