'No Third Runway' sign on Sipsen Road, location for for the third runway at Heathrow Airport. The expansion of London Heathrow Airport involved the proposal by BAA Limited to build a third runway and a sixth terminal at Heathrow, north of the Bath Road. The plan was supported by businesses, the aviation industry, the British Chambers of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, the Trades Union Congress and the Labour Party but opposed by the UK government, and Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London as well as by many environmental and local advocacy groups and prominent individuals. The expansion was cancelled on 12 May 2010 by the new coalition government.
