Responding to the news that the Government have approved expansion at Heathrow Airport Anna Turley said:
“I am really pleased that after years of delay the Government has finally taken the decision to build the third runway at Heathrow Airport.
“A new runway has huge potential to connect with Durham Tees Valley Airport and broaden our regional connectivity to the rest of the country and the wider world.
“Their promise to build the new runway and terminal with British steel, and to ensure that job opportunities will not just be focused on the South East but also on our region is excellent news.”
