I am totally against this expansion and any expansion to increase the number of flights into and from Gatwick. This is for climate reasons. We need to be reducing the number of flights not increasing them. As a local I am also concerned about noise pollution and air pollution from the development and ongoing running of the runway. Also the extra traffic, for both congestion and pollution reasons, caused by an increase in air traffic and travellers. The majority of flights are done by the few, these are what need to be reduced. Personal flights are minuscule in comparison to this and current capacity should be plenty to fill this. If we increase air traffic through this we will not be en route to meeting our climate plans.
