I am a concerned resident of Minster. The volume of traffic we experience throughout the day is colossal. To add lorries transporting cargo to this would cause gridlock. The impact an accident or hold up causes now can grind traffic to a halt. The fumes and pollution lorries would cause are toxic damaging the health of our children and anyone in the vicinity of the airport. The air pollution and noise pollution will make our lives unbearable! We do not choose this! The planes will fly low over schools in the area causing hazardous pollution for our children. The noise will affect our children's learning! I cannot believe this cargo airport is being considered in such a densely populated area. We moved to minster to enjoy the clean air and tranquility village life offers! This will be turned into a dead zone affecting people and impacting on the wildlife. We do not choose this! Rachel Miles
