Gatwick Airport has every right to draw up plans to help press its case for expansion.

With the amount of money going into each of the proposals, the airport should have a structured approach to ensure it has the very best chance of success.

Whatever your views are on the Gatwick expansion proposal it is difficult to disagree with this approach – as long as it plays by the rules.

However, questions must be asked how such sensitive and potentially damaging material can simply be left on a train seat.

Those in charge need to get to the bottom of how this has happened and make sure it does not happen again.
