Stansted Declaration of Environmental Rights

“We the people of the towns and villages around Stansted hereby declare that the environmental rights of this community are inalienable; that we have a duty to protect this natural and historic environment for this and future generations; and that it is the solemn duty of our government to protect the heritage and ecology of this area and to reject outright proposals for a second Stansted runway. To do otherwise would amount to nothing less than an act of environmental vandalism.”
