This response is submitted on behalf of Brightling Parish Council, a democratically elected organisation representing the residents of the civil parish of Brightling. Brightling Parish Council (BPC) opposes the expansion of Gatwick Airport, and opposes the moving of the second runway. BPC already receives regular complaints about aircraft noise, and we believe that the proposed expansion would worsen this problem. BPC believes that the proposed expansion of Gatwick would worsen CO2 emissions and other climate problems, not only from flights themselves, but also from associated road traffic
