I am very concerned about increased air traffic over this area - partly because of the immediate effects for residents but also because I believe we need to reduce reliance on air travel until it is carbon neutral to help reduce carbon emissions in the short term. I myself have given up flying and I read a research report yesterday that younger people across Europe are prepared to fly much less in future to reduce harmful pollution and emissions. Gatwick is trying to expand but the business ‘benefits’ should not outweigh our care god a livable future. I would like to register my concern that a. Expansion of the number of flights will bring unacceptable level of pollution, carbon emissions, and other environmental impacts.
