Blight’ of a new runway at Gatwick would reduce the value of thousands of people

[mhm]

Plans for a new runway at Gatwick Airport will 'cause widespread blight' and knock thousands of pounds from house values according to the Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign (GACC).



Gatwick Airport Ltd (GAL) is due to publish its plans for a new runway on, or shortly before, July 19.

Brendon Sewill, chairman of GACC, said: "People will be unable to sell their houses except at a substantial loss.

"Working men and women will find themselves unable to move to take up a new job; retired couples will find their hopes dashed of moving to a smaller house in another area.

"Anxiety will be caused to thousands of people and some may be driven to desperation."

It does not matter where they build a new runway. They should first expand all London airports to 2 runways before Heathrow is expanded to 3
