I am objecting to the proposed second runway at Gatwick airport. Already there is an unacceptable amount of noise pollution and increasing airplanes will only make this worse. The landing swathe over Langton Green where I live was narrowed and now we have almost constant noise from planes. Also now at night as well. Despite pressure NATS seems unwilling to do anything and clearly LGW and NATS do not care at all about people on the ground who are suffering. Also it is madness to increase flights when the planet is already warming and soon we will reach an irreversible tipping point. Electric or hydrogen planes will take decades, or longer, to be produced.Please stop this entirely irresponsible plan.
