Gatwick's Big Enough

Event

Tuesday, 17 February 2026 — 19:00 to 20:15


Find out the latest developments at the Gatwick's Big Enough online meeting, Tuesday 17th February, 7–8.15pm, hosted by Dorking Climate Emergency. The two campaign groups (GACC and CAGNE) led a 4-day High Court appeal against Gatwick’s expansion plans in January. Now they wait for the judge’s decision, expected late February. The proposed expansion will add around 119,000 flights per year (that’s over 324 flights a day more) and double airport capacity from 40 million to 80 million passengers annually. 

More pollution, more noise, more traffic – more of everything. Find out more from knowledgeable experts Jonathan Essex, Vice-Chair of GACC, and Alex Chapman, Senior Economist of the New Economics Foundation. There will be plenty of time to ask questions.
