Three years is too long to wait for another urgently needed runway at Gatwick (Argus, May 31).

Here in Barcombe, Lewes, I often see as many as 14 aircraft in the sky at the same time. It is very worrying to live directly beneath a major flight path.

Even if it means pulling down adjacent houses to build the runway it should be done. Many people would agree with me and put safety first.
