I am already finding it difficult to sleep at night with the current increased night flights, especially in the summer when windows are open. The noise is almost continuous with the sound of one plane not disappearing before you can hear the next one coming. At 2 in the morning this is very disturbing. I cannot see how this would improve with another runway. The increased traffic is also likely to be a problem on roads that are already congested and easily damaged due to their size ( or lack of it). We already get a lot of pollution and on occasions can smell aviation fuel. I do not see how this will improve.
