I oppose the new runway because of the devastating effect it will have on a large surrounding area. It will cause increased noise, air pollution at the airport itself and exact a heavy burden on the already heavily congested road system. The huge increase in freight and passenger traffic will not only cripple local roads and the M23 but the mainline railway system will be under huge stress. The increase in employment will probably just offer low paid jobs with unsocial hours and there will not be enough rented or social housing to accommodate a much larger work force.
