One step back

News in Brief

On 16 December, the UK’s supreme court overturned a previous court of appeal ruling, re-opening the possibility that there could be a third runway at Heathrow. 

The Good Law Project and Plan B have both said they will launch legal action to stop Heathrow expansion (Plan B at the European court of human rights). 

The local grassroots campaign, ‘Stop Heathrow Expansion’, is continuing to fight (with its arguments strengthened by the government’s ‘Net Zero emissions by 2050’ target), pointing out that there are still hurdles remaining for the third runway.
