2M Group

Speaking up for the community

The 2M Group is an alliance of local authorities concerned about the environmental impact of Heathrow expansion on their communities.

The group, which took its name from the 2 million residents of the original 12 authorities, now represents a combined population of 5 million people.

Members are not anti-Heathrow but feel passionately that the Government consistently fails to either acknowledge or assess the airport's full environmental impact.

The membership is made up of the London Boroughs of:

Brent | Camden | Ealing | Greenwich | Hammersmith and Fulham | Haringey | Harrow | Hillingdon | Hounslow | Islington | Kensington and Chelsea | Kingston | Lambeth | Lewisham | Merton | Richmond | Southwark | Sutton | Wandsworth

and the boroughs of:

Reading | Slough | Windsor and Maidenhead | Wycombe  | South Bucks

The Diocese of London has conducted its own study into the proposed expansion of Heathrow Airport.
