Why airport expansion must be stopped

The Master plan for Bristol airport is out for consultation - I would urge all to at least send a brief statement before 22nd December. A personal response will carry more weight but, if you feel you don't have the time, please use the campaign website: http://www.stopbia.com
...and click on the link to "respond online".

Meanwhile I've just completed the Green party's response to the consultation - it has taken a while over the last couple of weeks to collate the info and views from others in the party locally - it is good to sent it out along with a press release - as I say in that release "This expansion runs counter to any sane view of economics or sustainability. Why should we in Gloucestershire have to make deeper emissions cuts just to allow profits at BIA to grow?"

I would strongly urge everyone to oppose this expansion. It really will have an impact on us here in Stroud.
