I do not support this project. It will increase noise and overflights for those under the flight paths (and others close by) which, in turn, increases pollution & CO2, and is likely to have an adverse effect on physical & mental health. There is no provision for additional rail lines so the majority of trips to/from the airport will be by car -- more pollution, traffic delays. If Heathrow is going to expand, I do not see that Gatwick needs to. The only people to benefit from this expansion will be Gatwick's shareholders. The majority of local people will not, but they will be the ones who suffer.
