Heathrow Airport is going to have a third runway that should be built by 2020, but some people disagree with it so they formed together to cause disruption. We have been going around Hackney asking people whether they think we really need another runway and whether disruption is the right way to stop it.

Many people have been doing disruptions for quite a while. They try and delay things down but things are not going as planned. Take for instance the people making a disruption at Heathrow.

So are the disruptions really working? And will people start taking notice?

They have been making a disruption but the government have still said that they are going to go ahead as planned and build the runway so it looks like all the disruptions is not really been taken notice.

Not my favourite airport, but they shouldnŐt build another one. People should travel less
