I strongly appose a second runway at Gatwick Airport. This will be built very close to where people live and the pollution and noise will increase tremendously. Crawley Borough Council have apposed the second runway and Crawley is the largest town close to the airport. Presumably if this goes ahead, more staff will be needed and will need to live close by, Crawley already has a housing problem. These people who will move to the area will be a drain on hospitals, schools, dentists and the roads. No thought has been given to people who live locally. We do not want this second runway.
