As a resident living under one of the proposed flight paths and regularly using the local roads, I am horrified that this proposal is even being considered, my main concerns being:-

  1. the increased noise and air pollution levels arising from cargo planes arriving and departing on a frequent and regular basis;
  2. the undeniably and immensely negative effect that the night flights will have on the lives and, particularly, health of everybody affected;
  3. the increased congestion and pollution (again, both noise and air) arising from the vast majority of cargo being flown in, having to be further transported/distributed by road;
  4. the undeniably detrimental impact of all of the above on the important tourism industry. Obviously, this would adversely affect the quality of life of everyone involved and therefore, should not be allowed to go ahead.
