Notes for editors
The Gatwick Diamond name comes from the shape drawn around Gatwick Airport reflecting the influence the airport has on the lives of the people in that area, which includes much of East Surrey.
It was launched by the Surrey and West Sussex Economic Partnerships to make Gatwick as successful as other airport-focused areas and is business-led.
It involves the two county councils and six borough and district councils – in Surrey these are Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead and Tandridge – and a range of other public and private sector partners.
