Legal challenge begins against Gatwick expansion
Legal challenge initiated against Gatwick expansion due to concerns about noise emissions, greenhouse gas impact, and climate change. Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions (CAGNE) claim the planning process for the second runway was flawed. While the government approved the £2.2bn project, CAGNE urges Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander to review the decision. The expansion plans aim to increase flights and passenger numbers, with support from Chancellor Rachel Reeves for economic growth.
