Having been granted one hard runway at Shoreham Airport, it was promised it would cause no nuisance, noise, traffic and safety would be no problem.

There are now plans for a longer runway. While appreciating the RAF has historic reasons for holding its festival in September there - and I would not begrudge them the money they make - I do cringe at the noise of the aircraft and their low flying over Lancing.

I am dreading the thought of bigger and noisier aircraft flying over or landing in nearby densely-populated areas on a daily basis throughout the year.
