I object to the new runway, primarily because I object to (up to) another 10 million flights per year. The impact on the lives of those who live around the airport will be wholly negative; noise pollution causes stress and ill health. The impact on the environment will be wholly negative; burning fossil fuels for (mostly unnecessary) journeys is wilfully destructive of our planet and our children’s future. I am not convinced about the claimed economic benefits; and any benefits there are should be targeted at less prosperous regions of the UK.
