I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT AS IT WILL INCREASE THE TRAFFIC TRAVELLING TO LONDON GATWICK ALONG THE A23/A264 NORTH OF EAST GRINSTEAD. THIS ROAD IS CURRENTLY HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AND MORE VEHICLES WILL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL POLLUTION FROM TRAFFIC QUEUES WHICH ARE CLOSE TO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SCHOOLS. CARS FROM WEST KENT USE THE A264 TO AVOID THE POTENTIAL DELAYS ON THE M25 AND AN INCREASE WILL RESULT IN UNACCEPTABLE CONGESTION. TO THE EAST OF THE M23 THERE ARE NO DUAL CARRIAGEWAY ROADS ON ANY APPROACH TO THE AIRPORT.
