The WPOZ Compensation Campaign was launched in 2018 to lobby HEATHROW AIRPORT to include of Stanwell Moor in the Wider Property Offer Zone.
WHY? - Because decades of living under the Southern Runway, the constant aircraft-noise and aircraft-pollution has had a serious impact on the health and wellbeing of our residents.
Yet Heathrow Airport Ltd (HAL) seems to 'care little' for the people who live in the "most-blighted community" within the Heathrow Airport perimeter.
We cannot put a price on the impact this airport has had on the health and lives of the residents in Stanwell Moor, as this can never be adequately quantifed. However what can be, is how airport-blight affects the value of our properties that are 25% lower than the Surrey (average market value) and how due airport expansion they will continue to fall in value leaving residents who want to move unable to do so.
We quite simply have residents who want to relocate to a quiter area but cannot afford to as while property prices in Stanwell Moor have decreased, prices have risen in the areas not-affected by Heathrow.
"So in effect, our residents are trapped by this airport."
People on Stanwell Moor have died hoping they could move away but could not afford a like-for-like home as we have no agreement in place whereby Heathrow Airport will purchase their homes - And that is the disgrace in all of this.
The largest airport in the United Kingdom that this Government now wants to expand has continually let-down its nearest neighbour. Heathrow has shamelessly put corporate dividends over peoples health and wellbeing.
It has let down the very people who support it, work for it and who have helped it to become what is is today!
All we ask is parity with other villages. The same compensation that has been granted other communities who will be impacted by the airports expansion. - Some of whom have never been affected by airport-blight but will be in the future.
Heathrow Airport Directors if they have any 'moral compass' have a chance to do-the-right-thing for Stanwell Moor residents. Grant WPOZ STATUS to those (who can no longer bear the noise) who want to leave now, and for those who stay who dread what is to come when the Heathrow's Planning Application to Hillingdon Council No: 41573/APP/2024/2838 for a new-taxiway is approved, will see a (10-FOLD INCREASE) in planes landing over our village going from (36) to over 300 hundred flights a day!
Residents must be allowed to move-on and get-on with their lives, knowing that HAL will fully compensate them for the part the airport has played. - We must put an end to this disgraceful situation where the neighbour who has so negatively affected our lives, our health, our wellbeing and drove down property prices in our village agrees to buy our homes at market value + 25%.
There can be no question that STANWELL MOOR residents MUST have the security of WPOZ!
“It’s simply inconceivable that Stanwell Moor is not included in the WPOZ, when villages not affected by the airport are compensated. - Jim McIlroy, founder WPOZ Compensation for Stanwwll Moor Campaign”
