A VOTE FOR LABOUR IS A VOTE FOR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ACROSS WINDSOR

A VOTE FOR LABOUR IS A VOTE FOR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ACROSS WINDSOR, ASCOT AND THE ROYAL BOROUGH

The Liberal Democrats' candidate for Windsor in 2015 has called for voters across the Royal Borough to boycott Labour in the upcoming local and parliamentary elections if they value a good night's sleep.

The move is in response to the Labour Party's plans for a third runway at Heathrow which will increase and extend the aircraft noise misery already experienced by most people in Windsor.

Nationally the Conservatives have refused to say where they stand on Heathrow, instead they have set up an "Airports Commission" to consider the possibilities and report back after the election.

"Labour's plans for an extra runway at Heathrow represent a significant threat to the quality of life for people in Windsor and other nearby areas. People in Windsor already know the misery of aircraft noise too well, but recent experiments have extended this misery to people around Ascot as well. Labour's third runway can only extend the aircraft noise misery over a wider area and more hours of the day."

says the Lib Dems' Parliamentary Candidate George Fussey.

George Fussey is also worried about the effects of pollution caused by emissions, not only from the aircraft but also the traffic congestion on the ground.

"Living in Central Windsor I'm only too aware of the constant noise form aircraft landing and taking off from Heathrow. I'm proud that whereas the Labour Party are offering Windsor more noise and pollution, the Lib Dems are committed opposing Heathrow Expansion. It's just a shame that nationally the Conservative Party refuse to tell the public where they stand on Heathrow."

says Julian Tisi, who is standing for the Liberal Democrats in Clewer East in the Royal Borough Elections.

Windsor Liberal Democrats are launching a new, "No Heathrow 3", petition which can be signed online at: http://SignMe.org.uk/1082.
