The five-minute video, called ‘What does a new runway at Gatwick mean to you’, was put together by Communities Against Gatwick Noise and Emissions (CAGNE) and was unveiled outside the Red Lyon pub on Sunday November 1. In the film a number of residents speak about the effect a second runway could have on traffic congestion near the airport, the potential loss of business premises, and the amount of extra people affected by aircraft noise. Sally Pavey, chair of CAGNE, said: “We are delighted by the turn out of local people, it plainly shows the anger residents currently feel towards Gatwick and the increase in flights and noise.” The number of people affected by Gatwick night flights increased by 15 per cent in 2014, according to a report by the Civil Aviation Authority, although these figures include the Gatwick’s immigration removal centre for the first time. While Sir Howard Davies recommended a third runway at Heathrow over expansion at Gatwick back in July, the airport has continued to press its case for a second runway. The Government has yet to announce whether or not it will accept Sir Howard’s recommendations. CAGNE said it would continue to press for less concentrated aircraft routes, which it argues is causing sleep deprivation for some communities. The group was formed in February 2014 after trial flight paths started sending planes over Warnham and the surrounding area. Both Horsham District Council and West Sussex County Council voted to oppose a second runway earlier this year. Since Sir Howard published his report, Gatwick has challenged the recommendation, called the findings ‘inconsistent and flawed’. The Airports Commission concluded that the economic benefits of expanding Gatwick were ‘considerably smaller’ than those of expansion at Heathrow, while its conclusions were ‘clear and unanimous’.
