YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFollowing the Chancellor's speech in Oxfordshire on growth, James O'Brien asks: 'how do we decide whether things are getting better?'.
The speech included confirmation of a third runway at Heathrow Aiport. The Chancellor said the west London airport's expansion is "badly needed" because "for decades its growth has been constrained".
Heathrow's plan to build a third runway received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but has been delayed by legal challenges and the coronavirus pandemic.
The airport needs to secure approval for a Development Consent Order to go ahead with the project.
The scheme would involve around seven years of construction to produce a third runway and a new terminal.
It would also require more than 700 houses to be demolished and the M25 motorway to be moved into a tunnel.
Environmental groups have expressed major concerns over the impact of airport expansion on climate change.
