Public does not back Heathrow expansion as a priority for the country, polling finds (Owen Humphreys/PA) - (PA Wire)

The public do not think airport expansion – including the building of a third runway at Heathrow – should be a priority, polling has found.

A survey commissioned by two climate charities found that less than a fifth of people (19%) thought building a third runway at Heathrow was the right priority at the moment, with 61% saying it was the wrong thing to focus on.
