Agree so why is the UK government @labourlist.bsky.social allowing bucket and spade airport such as #GatwickAirport to expand when they know the damage aviation is doing to the local environment and the planet? Donate to CAGNE to oppose this decision by #labourparty www.cagne.org

CAGNE Gatwick @cagnegatwick.bsky.social · 17d

One reason to oppose a new runway at #GatwickAirport is the extra 101,000 flights a year So 2 runways firing off planes at 6.30am till 11.30pm at night
