Every year we have around 155,100 Heathrow flights and 9,900 London City Airport flights going over Southwark at less than 8,000 where noise becomes increasingly disturbing.
Every day in my house I can tell when 6am is reached as a torrent of flights start overflying us.
Around 4am several flights come over and about 1 in 5 chance every day my 7 year old will be woken. Boy, does that spoli his school day with tiredness. And we have double glazing.
Fingers crossed this Labour government stops standing out by being the only political party in favour of a 3rd Heathrow runway.
Fingers crossed the Tories and Labour stop supporting a 50% increase in flights at London City Airport. I sometimes fly on business from this airport and I really don’t wont it to expand.
We totally agree with you. It’s sad to see that aviation is causing more and more problems for real people who have to live with what is really unneeded expansion.
We hope that the government and opposition parties see what expansion is doing to the people of London and beyond.
