Respondent: Austins
Whilst the idea may be to increase employment, how much of that employment will be found locally and how much will be brought in?
Access to the airport for freight or by passengers will only make the roads even more congested and even if some of this is handled by rail, freight trains will disrupt the busy commuter timetable making it even more difficult to reach London in a reasonable time.
In addition why on earth is consideration being given to increasing flights into an airport surrounded by a vast residentail area, adding both to the dangers and noise levels.
