If you are interested in registering your opposition to the continued
expansion of Heathrow, here are a range of suggestions.
We hope to add further suggestions and materials to this page as the
campaign progresses.

Sign
the online
petition sponsored by stopheathrowexpansion.com,
a website created by HACAN
ClearSkies |

Virgin
Atlantic (who support expansion) and the Evening Standard were also undertaking their own
online polls, but both have now been terminated |
|
You
can also sign online petitions to ban
the advertising of flights (closes 29 Mar) or against
cheap flights (closes 19 Apr) |

Bailey has created a website www.StopRunWay3.org
which copies a single e-mail to 115 recipients : MP's, Councillors,
the DTI, and various media outlets (newspapers, websites etc). You
might like to consider this for a 'quick hit' if you don't have time
to send dedicated correspondence, but there is probably a risk that
the lack of specific focus means that some of these e-mails are
ignored. |
