  On 25 October 2016 the Government announced that its preferred scheme for meeting the need for additional airport capacity in the south-east of England is a new north-west runway at Heathrow Airport.
        
      The Department for Transport has  launched a 16-week consultation asking for residents' views on the draft Airports National Policy Statement.  The consultation closes at      11:45pm on 25 May 2017.
You can have your say and see the consultation online and there is also a series of 20 open events in areas that would be affected by the expansion of Heathrow.
The local event in our borough will take place in the Assembly Hall at Hammersmith Town Hall, King Street on Monday 6 March from 11am till 8pm.
