I object to the second runway for the following reasons - Our UK government Climate Change Committee. 6th carbon budget. Aviation – states there should be no more airport expansion until there is a way of mitigating aviation`s emissions. increase in aircraft noise. impact on climate change. devaluing our home affecting our wellbeing through increase in aircraft movements lack of surface transport decline in air quality lack of affordable housing and amenities there is no existing second runway currently operating in conjunction with the main runway (it is only used when the main runway is not being used) – so Gatwick is misleading residents about the current existence of a ‘second’ runway
