Heathrow Cancels Expansion
7:52 am, Wednesday 26th May 2010
Plans for a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport have been scrapped by the new government.
Councils, residents and green groups had opposed the expansion scheme which Gordon Brown said was needed for economic reasons.
John Stewart, from Hacan ClearSkies, which campaigned against the runway said he was "absolutely delighted".
Airport operator BAA said it would work with the new government to provide strong trading connections.
The new government said it would also refuse any additional runways at Gatwick and Stansted airports.
