WHAT IS WRONG WITH ROSKILL?

The papers and proceedings of the Commission on the Third London Airport consisted of nine volumes. Volume VII, assessment of short-listed sites, consisted of a cost-benefit assessment of the four alternative sites at Cublington (Buckinghamshire), Northampstead (Hertfordshire), Foulness (Essex), and Thurleigh (Bedfordshire). This article, is very critical of the Commissions assessment and doubts whether a third airport is justified. He believes that the disbenefits being intangibles, are grossly undervalued, and that public protest will be increasingly directed against cost-benefit analysis which disregards equity and the "quality of life."
