Heathrow is rebutting claims it’s delayed its delivery of mental health support for residents affected by expansion.

The No 3rd Runway Coalition raised concerns about the service, which was due to offer a 24-hour helpline and counselling from June.

Heathrow says that accusation is not correct it will provide residents with more information about the service launch in due course.

It comes ahead of a public consultation on the airport’s expansion plans, running from October the 27th to December the 22nd.
