Cindy Ferguson, Liberal Democrat County Council Candidate for Frimley Green and Mytchett Division, said "Susan put forward a very strong case for opposing the third runway at Heathrow. Many of her arguments were similar to those of residents who suffer living under the flight path of Farnborough Airfield."
