On Friday, I caught up with Tim Oliver, Leader of Surrey County and Elmbridge Borough Council. We discussed a number of local issues such as school funding, Elmbridge’s Local Plan and council finances.
We also discussed Heathrow’s latest airspace consultations, which set out plans to accommodate more flights on the existing two runways, and propose routes for the flight paths an expanded Heathrow would use when fully operational. I will be responding to both consultations, raising local concerns about the impact on noise levels and air quality. Residents can find out more about Heathrow’s proposals here, and can submit to the consultation until it closes on the 4 March 2019.
It’s important to have a good team effort with our local councillors, so I value the opportunity to talk local issues through – and see how I can support up at Westminster.
