I run a design and marketing agency based in Tunbridge Wells we struggle to find staff. On some nights from 2 am till 4 am noisy old planes join the decent path over Tunbridge wells turning sharply and revving their engines sometimes the planes stach. This destroys my sleep and leaves me unable to function properly. the terminals are ready often well over crowded, the underhand way they move flights later and later in busy periods because the airlines do not allow sufficient turnaround times means this is common practice. How can the destruction of the peace and tranquility of a semi-rural town like Tunbridge Wells and the mental health of the population here not be put before the greed of these operators? Surely a new runway should be build in Manchester to help level yup the country?
