Crispin Blunt comments on Gatwick Airport Ltd leafleting households around Gatwick about supposed ‘benefits’ for local residents of Gatwick expansion.

Crispin Blunt has co-signed an open letter to Gatwick Airport Chairman, Sir Roy McNulty, following revelations that Gatwick Airport is sending provocative leaflets to 400,000 households in constituencies around Heathrow. Whilst Gatwick is failing to engage with local communities around its own airport, with this leaflet, they are seeking to frighten residents around Heathrow. It ignores the considerable local and national benefits of Heathrow expansion and escalates Gatwick's negative and unbalanced campaign against Heathrow.
