Hounslow Council has long been clear in our recognition of the significant local and national economic benefits of Heathrow Airport, and about our belief that the benefits of proximity to Heathrow need to be greater for our whole community.
That recognition has driven our calls to Government for an Aviation Communities Fund to support the local economy and communities through skills and re-employment initiatives, business support and investment in local infrastructure.
We have been clear too, that our partnership with the airport to maximise those benefits can address negative impacts, the climate crisis, and our local environment. We are committed to working together to secure local employment and to shape the area around Heathrow as a better place to live, work and visit. Together we must ensure that future airport and airport-related development delivers sustainable, suitable facilities and infrastructure, well-located and coordinated to minimise disruption and maximise community benefit.
