Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith visited St Stephen’s Primary School to meet year 5 pupils researching the proposed Heathrow expansion in their geography lessons.
Mr Goldsmith’s visit was the culmination of several weeks work, with children carrying out a vox pop among residents in Hounslow and Richmond to find out the pros and cons for the community.
Pupil Alex said: “We showed him Google Maps and what will be destroyed if the expansion goes ahead. It was good to meet him.”
Another pupil, Jesse said: “He told me being an MP was a great job. He gets to meet lots of different people and debate lots of issues.”
