Down that way today and drove along A23 on way to Crawley.

Nestle will be p***** off as they just moved into City Place which figure won't exist.

Road Alignment not much of an issue as mostly farmland on left and most of industries that were using area up to Ibis Hotel on RHS at Lowfield Heath have gone via recession or because Land was bought up at Auction a few years ago.

They will straighten A23 to along where Ibis is with no trouble.

Sadly Flight Tavern will cease to exist, food average but spent more than a few evenings and afternoons there waiting for people.

Motorway will have better exit which not such a bad idea and create thousands of jobs but then again as Crawley seems to be always close to full employment that is an interesting equation.

Based on initial designs I wonder whether its a satellite terminal or a full blown new terminal utilising both runways.

It will be interesting to see.
