I do not agree to the expansion and additional runway at Gatwick airport, for the following reasons- As a country we need to be looking at curtailing our carbon emissions not creating more, we are in the middle of a climate emergency. This is a rural part of the world and the extra runway will impact upon residents peaceful enjoyment of the countryside, increasing noise, light and air pollution. The Ashdown Forest which supports a number of endangered birds could have further risks and impacts to conserving its biodiversity.
