Greg met up with Gatwick, NATS and the CAA last week to discuss the underwhelming impact the recently implemented Arrivals Review has had on reducing aircraft noise over the Tunbridge Wells area, which many constituents still believe to be too loud.

I made it clear that if Gatwick and the authorities cannot improve the situation then further measures must be taken – including the potential for specific flight restrictions above Tunbridge Wells.”
