Gatwick Airport has been an important contributor to the Cranleigh economy for many years for several reasons. The expansion of the Airport can only benefit this neighbouring town further. 1. Expansion will encourage more businesses to locate and thus employ more staff here. 2. It will encourage more visitors to overnight in our various accommodations and will attract more foreign visitors to holiday here in the Surrey Hills. 3.More staff of Gatwick Airport, airlines, suppliers and service providers will be attracted to live here in the several thousand newly built and planned homes and commute the short journey to work. 4. More staff living in Cranleigh and more visitors will benefit the High Street shops in this attractive town.
