Give Heathrow a Third Runway

Our PM David Cameron has been challenged by members of his own party to abandon a pact made with the Lib Dems and expand Heathrow by building a third runway.
While there hasn’t been a definitive answer from Cameron yet, it is widely expected he’ll stick to the pact and say no, but I think he should follow his own advice do what’s best for the country and allow a third runway to be built.
Adding a third runway would boost business for Britain no end and would signal that this government isn’t afraid to make a big decision and upset a few people, and I think the idea of sticking to this pact is ridiculous.
This was made just after the 2010 general election when the plan was to reduce the deficit and get the economy growing again, well it’s been over two years since and the government are failing to meet their borrowing targets and we’re back in recession, so I think this pact has lost all its relevance.
If the country is to climb back out of recession building a third runway at Heathrow would be a strong positive place to start.
