The West Sussex County Times has published a head-to-head debate over the future of Gatwick between Gatwick's Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, C Kirwan-Taylor and David Johnson, Chair, CPRE Sussex.

Another anticipated delay in the decision on airport expansion has been met with frustration by countryside campaigners who say its leaves rural communities vulnerable and in limbo.
