| Tony Arbour - Environment |
From Chessington to Chiswick, Barnes to Brentford, Ham to Heston, residents are concerned by threats to their environment from Labour and Liberal Democrats who are committed to cramming in high-rise, high-density housing wherever possible.
New powers for the Mayor are being used by Mr Livingstone to dictate how we should plan our neighborhoods. Tony says: "Boris Johnson and a Conservative GLA will oppose inappropriate high-rise, garden grabbing, polluting over-development. We will give local residents and local boroughs a say in how, or whether, they want their area to change. We live in distinct communities where local people know what is best."
Tony has successfully led the London Assembly to oppose the building of a third runway at Heathrow. The London Assembly also backed Tony's call for a ban on night flights following recent revelations that these flights have far exceeded their Government quota.

Tony says: "A Conservative Mayor and Assembly will robustly oppose the Government's plans for a third runway which will inevitably increase noise and pollution."
Tony Has fought to stop Mayor Livingstone from narrowing the view of St Paul's from King Henry's Mound in Richmond Park. He says: "It is disappointing that the Labour Government is supporting Mr Livingstone, paving the way for high rise buildings to block this historic view."
