A campaign group has held a rally against London Gatwick airport’s £2.2 billion Northern Runway plans. The plans, which will see 100,000 more flights at Gatwick, creating around 14,000 jobs and and inject £1 billion into the region's economy every year.
The plans have been opposed by campaign groups, including Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign (GACC),  who say they will launch legal challenges against the Government’s decision.
We caught up with GACC vice-chair Jonathan Essex and Cllr Victoria Chester, whose Horley East & Salfords ward is next to the airport.
