I disagree with the use of the emergency runway as a third runway. Gatwick was not chosen for extension and increasing air traffic in the area is detrimental. Other locations in the UK would be preferable, like Manchester, now that HS2 won’t reach it. I object to the third runway, approval for additional runway was given to Heathrow. Additional pollution, and noise to area is not needed. Money should be spent on developing northern airports esp now that HS2 isn’t going to reach them.
