Heathrow runway plans: 'Determination and grit' in Sipson

A new Heathrow runway and extending a current runway are two options that have been shortlisted by the Airports Commission - as it considers ways to expand UK airport capacity.

But while businesses and travellers may welcome the news, many people in the village of Sipson are firmly opposed to any expansion at the UK's busiest airport.

Jane Taylor is the chair of the Sipson Residents' Association. She told the BBC's Richard Lister that people were weary of fighting to protect their homes but still had "a lot of determination and grit".
