- I support the project. - The project will generate significant economic growth for the local area, the South East and the UK. This includes a substantial increase in employment opportunities. Moreover, in contrast to many infrastructure projects it is being financed by Gatwick rather than the taxpayer. - The project will benefit young people living in disadvantaged areas in the region, including through training opportunities and new jobs. In turn, this benefits the whole community by regenerating areas. - Comprehensive work by Gatwick on noise and sustainability addresses any concerns in these areas. - Making best use of existing capacity has numerous advantages over greenfield development. - Capacity is needed to meet demand for air travel. This is not only key for business and leisure travellers seeking to explore other cultures, but to many individuals with friends and relatives abroad - which is increasingly important to consider as society becomes more diverse.
