In North Tonbridge we already suffer from very frequent noisy commercial aircraft going into Gatwick, including many during the night. An additional runway will increase traffic making the problem worse. As a nation we should be reducing our use of fossil fuels and aviations huge use of untaxed fuel, this expansion will make this worse. Gatwick is to the South of London most of the population live to the North and West so any increase in capacity should be to the North or West. A great many of the passengers for any increased Gatwick capacity will come by the already very overused M25, congestion on this road will therefore become even worse. For these 4 reasons this project should be rejected
