Boris Johnson calls for airport in east instead of Heathrow expansion
22.01.08
Conservative London Mayoral candidate Boris Johnson has said that the planned Heathrow expansion should ne scrapped in favour of a new airport being built to the east of London. The Tory mayoral candidate said ministers should look at moving the airport, calling Heathrow a '1960s planning error'.
Boris said: 'I would like to look at a variety of solutions and we should ask the question whether we should have the solution in the Thames estuary.' However Green Party Mayoral candidate, Siân Berry, branded the suggestion: 'the most ridiculous idea we've heard from the Johnson camp so far. Aviation is doing our city no favours at the moment. We need fewer airports in London, not more, for both economic and health reasons.'
