I would like to express my concerns in regards to the devastating impacts that the new runway at Gatwick airport would have locally and globally. The expansion plan would: - increase the release of greenhouse gases, which are responsible for the climate emergency we’re facing - create more pressure on the rail and road networks serving the airport, with 76 million more passengers per year adding to a further decline in air quality - undermine the government’s aviation strategy. The proposal is for a new runway – not bringing an existing runway into regular use, as claimed.
