Richmond Council opposes government decision on Heathrow expansion
Watch Leader of Richmond Council, Councillor Gareth Roberts, speaking yesterday about our continued opposition to the expansion of Heathrow Airport, including the construction of a third runway. Councillor Roberts says the expansion would cause significant harm to local communities, citing environmental damage, increased noise pollution, and disruption to residents. The Council remains committed to working with the government to protect local communities and the environment from any harmful consequences of Heathrow's expansion.
 Richmond Council urges action to protect Royal Parks Police
We are raising urgent concerns over the future of the Royal Parks Police following warnings from the Metropolitan Police Commissioner that specialist units, including the Royal Parks Police, could face cuts as part of efforts to address a £450 million budget shortfall. We are committed to working with local MPs and other stakeholders to urge the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, the Mayor of London, and the government to secure the funding needed to protect this vital unit.
