I have lived in Edenbridge since 1969 (54 years). I have witnessed the ever increasing noise and pollution as a result of the continued growth of Gatwick traffic. The main aircraft traffic travels just south of Edenbridge in a westerly direction . Our prevailing wind being generally in south/west direction maximises the continuous unacceptable noise. When Gatwick changes takeoff direction and the aircraft that need to turn to the east, they pass low and noisily accelerating directly over my house on the north side of Edenbridge. The thought of a second runway and clearly greatly increased noise and pollution is totally unacceptable.
