As we are already saturated with aircraft noise at times here in ED, & have had extended discussions about it in the forum, I thought this item in today's Guardian =>http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/may/10/heathrow-third-runway-transport-committee

merits ED contributions.

The BoJo airport in the Thames is something a confident, expansionist and forward thinking country that's interested in its global reach would go for. Endless whinging about the downsides of creating a third runway at Heathrow along with the inevitable delay of a public enquiry is exactly the wrong way to go.

Sounds like a good idea to me.


We should be planning for five runways at Heathrow (and Gatwick) if we are to avoid being a third world Country.


Also, airplane noise has never affected me in ED since Concorde stopped flying over my garden and Dulwich Park (which I loved to see).

"Saturated by aircraft noise"?? No, we are not.


We are on flight routes into Heathrow and out of City airport. We have some noise but lets not exaggerate.


As it is the sight of an Emirates or Quantas Airbus A380 almost silently cruising over us is quite spooky.


Older aircraft are noisier, but as more super quiet aircraft come into service, the impact of noise will decrease.

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
