I strongly object to the plan to convert the Gatwick emergency runway into routine use. The air traffic over the area around our part of the south east is constant and intrusive not only during the day, but also at night. The local roads are already congested and under severe strain from too much traffic and the noise created by planes over our heads is on some days, non-stop and intolerable. It would be irresponsible to allow another runway and allow even more air traffic to blight the south east. The scheme to expand Gatwick would create more carbon emissions when our world is suffering from severe climate change. Please stop the plans for expansion and also please stop night flights.
