'10 POUNDS TO ENTER HEATHROW'By Stephen Moyes 05/03/2007

AIRPORT bosses are planning to charge people up to £10 in "environment tax" just to enter Heathrow.

Other "green" proposals include a £10 congestion charge for vehicles around Britain's busiest airport.

But the plans were quickly accused of being a ploy to get permission for a third runway.

A source at last Thursday's crisis meeting on offsetting Heathrow's huge "carbon footprint" told the Mirror: "The irony is not lost on anyone - winning approval for a third runway will increase carbon emissions yet further."
