I am concerned about air traffic noise over my town (after having experienced how bad Heathrow planes are over Kew when visiting the area last night) I am also concerned about the health impact of pollution on me and my family I am also concerned about the environmental impact of more flights. While this runway would make travel more convenient for me, it would drive up emissions and flying when we should be reducing them. There is also no direct public transport (not even a bus) from Tunbridge Wells to Gatwick, so a community that will suffer the worst disturbance and health impact will not even really benefit. We will still have to travel into London and out again to take advantage of the new flights, so might as well carry on using Heathrow and Stanstead
