Increased Noise. Increase Pollution. Increased Carbon Emissions. Gatwick sent out a carefully worded flyer to our neighborhood, that could lead many to believe that expanded airport and all the associated air traffic will be carbon neutral, which will not be true. No need for expansion as Gatwick is South of London and too far away for most of the population and Heathrow which is more accessible has already planned to expand. Safety, the emergency runway is being converted into a runway, it is very close to the main runway and was built for a reason (i.e. emergencies) so what will happen now in an emergency.
