I reject plans by Gatwick Airport to bring their northern runway into regular use. This would, in effect, be a second runway at the airport. I am concerned about expansion being environmentally damaging while the communities on the flight paths struggle to see the economic benefits that many other communities would. I would add that the current Quota Count system is not sufficiently robust in rural communities and an increase in plane volume is unacceptable without regulatory monitoring of plane noise on flight paths and a total ban on night flights.
