Heathrow
Munira was involved in the successful campaign against a third runway at Heathrow which would have seen an entire village obliterated and many parts of South West London suffering even greater noise and air pollution. One of the first acts of the Coalition Government was to scrap plans for the third runway.

Road Safety
As a local councillor, Munira secured action for a major road safety scheme on a lethal stretch of Staines Road, through several years of campaigning, lobbying officers and cabinet members, working alongside residents and Vincent Cable MP.

Feltham Arenas
The Feltham Arenas site, formerly an athletics track (where an Olympic-winning athlete trained) and football training ground has been shamefully neglected by developers and Hounslow Council. Munira has campaigned alongside local residents and councillors for the site to be cleaned up and made safe.
