Noise from aircraft leaving Gatwick has been the number one concern raised with me since the Government approved the airport’s second runway last year. With the use of flightpaths above our villages set to ramp up in the coming years, it’s only right that residents have a say on where these routes go and how they operate.
A consultation has now been launched on the future options of Route 4 – one of the departure routes that fly over East Surrey. You can access it here: https://tinyurl.com/y57w2krh
It’s quite a detailed consultation, so do take your time to fill it out. If it helps, you can view the different options from a bird’s-eye view using this interactive map: https://volans.airportnetwork.com/?sitename=lgwroute4
Note the consultation closes on the 28th of April. Please make sure you have your say before then.
