Any expansion of LGW would make it impossible for the UK to meet its commitments on reducing carbon emissions. An expansion would mean thousands more flights annually and apart from the carbon emissions element for the country as a whole and the local community would be hard hit by the increase of various types of pollution including, but not limited to, noise pollution. As local residents we are already impacted, being woken up early in the morning and late at night and an expansion would make this worse. I wholeheartedly oppose the expansion.
