    A second runway at Gatwick Airport has been backed by government, providing measures to reduce noise are put in place.

    Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said she was "minded to approve" the expansion. Gatwick Airport wants to move its northern runway, which is currently only used for taxiing or as a back-up, and make it operational by the end of the decade.

    The transport secretary's support does not guarantee the expansion will go ahead as it would still need planning permission.

    The Parish Council supports the Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign (GACC) and to this end, will be approving a one-off donation of £500 to help fund a legal challenge to the proposal.
