Stop the Estuary Airport

This website has been launched to campaign against the plans by the Mayor of London to build a huge airport in the Thames estuary.

Please help us to stop the airport.

This website is from the Stop the Estuary Airport campaign, run by Medway Council and Kent County Council and supported by the RSPB.

The RSPB does not support airport expansion be it in the Thames Estuary, at Manston, Lydd or elsewhere and has serious concerns about the current forecasts for future growth in air travel.

Set against the current level of airport provision in the South East of England, the economic and social value of further expansion in aviation is far outweighed by its economic, social and environmental costs.

Airport expansion would be accompanied by a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, which presents a significant threat to local, national and international biodiversity.
