AN extra runway at Gatwick rather than Stansted should be considered, a transport report by MPs suggest.

The Commons Transport Committee said it was "not convinced" a national case for another Stansted runway had been made, as reported by the BBC.

The document supports Heathrow's expansion but called for assurances that the west London airport would be linked to other major airports by high-speed rail.

Theydon Bois residents are concerned they will be adversely affected by noise pollution if a second runway was built at the Essex airport.

Stop Stansted Expansion is opposed to the expansion of Stansted airport capacity on the grounds of unsustainability.
