- plans for the expansion of Gatwick do not include improvements and additions to local infrastructure like much needed secondary schooling, and hospital provision which is struggling anyway with house building in recent years. Creating more jobs, whilst it sounds good, is unsustainable for the local area and especially the road system. - with the UK government aiming to reach net zero by 2050, expanding the airport and increasing flights goes against these aims with air travel contributing to 15% of the UK’s climate impact currently.
