I side with the concerns expressed currently and previously by Gatwick Obviously Not. The full environmental impact on residents under the flight paths has hitherto been underestimated and hence not given the weight they deserve. This also applies to other issues such as traffic and transport. Misleading information promulgated by Gatwick coupled with its heavyweight influences over the CAA and Govt have created huge public distrust. This Public Examination is really the public’s only chance to try to tilt the debate towards a less disadvantageous position. Even as it is, the publicly surrounding this Enquiry in order to secure public engagement on such an important matter has been risible - leading to even deeper mistrust. I therefore hope to fully participate in this Enquiry as an interested and concerned member of the public.
