Or come up with a viable alternative.

Developing Stansted into a 4 runway airport with a high
speed train connection (south, north and sast) and
closing LHR completely.

I know that the locals won't like this, but there are far less
of them.

Bit bloody useless for all of the passengers living in the M4 corridor
for whom Heathrow is usefully situated. Shame that Bristol airport is
such a pain in the arse to get to. Otherwise, and if the flights went
where I want to go, I'd happily never use a London airport again.
Especially Gatwick shudder.

Maybe there's a case for expanding all/many/some regional airports, like
Bristol, but as part of that expansion also increase/improve the local
infrastructure to support them properly. Better
road/rail/bus/cycle/pedestrian links, with a lot more scope for additional,
indirect to the airport, investment, say industrial estates etc that might
be better being some way away from habitation.
