I object to the Gatwick additional runway proposals. There will be around 386,000 flights a year and 76m passengers and workers on the roads and rail – while the planet can expect an additional 0.5m to 1.5m tonnes of extra carbon from two runways, with flights 24/7. I already notice more flights above my property without this proposed vast increase. And use of the M25 and M23 is often a nightmare with traffic delays and jams. The trains are also already buckling under pressure. With no significant investment in additional infrastructure, it’ll be a misery living anywhere near and often a misery for passengers too.
