Sometimes when I am trying to sleep I time the aircraft flying over and they are one every minute. It is very difficult to sleep when I am counting aircraft flying over instead of sheep. I work from home on the phone and sometimes I need to halt my conversation whilst a low flying aircraft is making it's way across the sky. It makes me look unprofessional and upsets the way I work. The noise is bad enough now. How much worse is it going to be when there is another runway? Also if people want clean air and to combat climate change then we need to curtail travel not increase it. We only have one planet and the way the world is now globalised means it will not last us much longer. We need to travel less not more.
