Here in Betchworth we are overflown by planes from both Heathrow and Gatwick which contributes to our noise pollution but the main problem is the traffic to Gatwick. Our village is used as a cut through and this expansion will only increase the traffic on narrow roads unsuitable for the amount it already has. The village school is on such a road. There are no plans to improve the infrastructure to and from the airport. Both the M25 and M23 are already over capacity and there are knock on effects to our rural areas. This expansion can not go ahead!
