The call came after 2M leaders wrung an assurance from transport minister Jim Fitzpatrick that he would send out copies of his department's consultation document to residents excluded from the first distribution. Many residents in parts of Wandsworth have not received any information about the plans for a third runway and all-day flights. The minister conceded that Heathrow expansion was a matter that would concern all Londoners. He agreed that people outside the immediate area should be able to comment on the proposals. Following pressure from the 2M Group he agreed to order a fresh distribution of consultation material to any postcodes that had been overlooked. The 2M Group campaigns to protect the quality of life for people affected by aircraft noise. You can find more information at www.2MGroup.org.uk The DfT consultation runs until February 27. Details of how to respond are available at www.dft.gov.uk/heathrowconsultation
