Heathrow third runway: Inside the village facing demolition
"Three-quarters of the village would be demolished. It wouldn't be a viable community. Pubs, the shops will go because there aren't enough customers. It's a lose, lose, lose all round."
Justine Bayley lives in Harmondsworth, a village in Hillingdon in west London, which would be partially demolished to make way for a third runway at Heathrow Airport. She opposes expansion of the airport, something that's now more likely after the government announced their backing of the idea.
But not all of Harmondsworth's residents agree with Justine - even those in homes that would be demolished can understand the benefits a new runway would bring.
