Prime Minister Andy Burnham won't back Heathrow third runway plan yet
Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he wants to hear Londoners' views first before backing a third runway at Heathrow airport. The expansion, which he opposed as Mayor of Greater Manchester, might now experience a delay of as much as four years, with its opening pushed back to 2039. The £33bn project could create 100,000 jobs, but faces opposition from environmentalists and local groups.
