A group of MPs across Surrey, Sussex and Kent have called on the government to delay the decision on expanding Gatwick Airport.
It’s so they can ensure all current noise levels are monitored adequately at the site.
A spokesperson for Gatwick said the airport has a “network of state-of-the-art noise monitors” which provide “comprehensive coverage”.
The MP for Dorking and Horley Chris Coghlan is one of five who have signed a letter to the Transport Secretary, to delay the decision until the “true impact of noise” that the airport currently makes is understood.
A spokesperson for the Department for Transport said all expansion proposals must be “compatible with environmental commitments, and strict standards on air quality and noise pollution”.
Recent storms have been causing havoc across Surrey and Sussex.
In Crawley, the London Road had to be closed due to a fallen tree, while train services across the region experienced delays due to similar incidents.
A Met Office meteorologist, said the weather will be “unsettled” in the next few days,
22 flood alerts were also raised by the environment agency.

Formal proposals to change Millais School in Horsham from a single sex girls’ school to a co-educational school have been published by West Sussex County Council.
The Council says the school has not filled all its places for the last three years, and there is a shortage of places for boys in the area. An initial public consultation held last year, showed a slight majority of respondents were in favour of Millais becoming co-educational.
If the proposed change is approved, Millais would admit boys and girls into Year 7 with effect from September 2026 and each year thereafter. Refurbishment works would be needed to adapt changing and toilet facilities.
The statutory consultation period runs until 27th February; those wanting to make further comments should email schoolconsultations@westsussex.gov.uk.
