Creating this 2nd runway will increase traffic on our country lanes. They are not safe for the volume of traffic now. Our roads around where I live are in a very bad state of repair and the increase in traffic will only make our roads worse. I hadn't realised how bad the fumes from aircraft were until we didn't have aircraft flying over us during Covid. I have lived here for 34 years and until the flight path route was changed we only saw aircraft in the distance . Now they are turning right over our home. They can be going over us every 35 seconds. With this new runway I hate to think how much more our lives here will be affected.
