There are absolutely no acceptable conditions.

Heathrow is in the wrong location!

Flying over millions of people is no longer acceptable.


Let's grow a pair and look forward to the next 100 years build a new hub airport!

And why did they build bloody Heathrow at the west side of the city ???????


because...


In 1930, British aero engineer and aircraft builder Richard Fairey paid the Vicar of Harmondsworth ?15,000 for a 150-acre plot to build a private airport to assemble and test aircraft. Complete with a single grass runway and a handful of hastily erected buildings, Fairey?s Great West Aerodrome was the humble precursor to the world?s busiest international airport, Heathrow.


During World War II the government requisitioned land in and around the ancient agricultural village of Heath Row....

Interesting how mankind has progressed in some ways and remained stuck in others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth


Heathrow now time to wind it down, move into reality and stop blighting the lives of millions!

I agree fabfor - LHR is not at full capacity despite what they tell us.


For example, since BA took over the runway take-off/landing slots of now defunct British Midland it hasn't been able or maybe willing to use them all. Recently I read that BA is cancelling partially full flights which poor punters have already booked in a deliberate policy to protect it's slot allowance. Apparently they must use something like 80% of their allocated slots or lose them; they pretend to use them all but when the qualifying figure on slot use is reached they know that they can cancel flights without penalty.


For BA it could be that the slots are at the wrong times for the destinations they travel to.


To be clear, what I am saying is that LHR is not full and could be more efficiently used. Of course, more capacity in SE England will be needed eventually and in my view, all governments are short sighted and are only self-interested in the 5 year term, so it's 100% certain to be at LHR.


For those under the current flightpath there will never be any respite, it'll only get worse.

The flights into city only pass over ED when the Heathrow flights are on westerly operations.


If they didn't there would be potential for collisions.



90% of flights over ED are Heathrow.


Look at the flight path app or online flight maps.



Heathrow is the most ridiculous option where humanity is concerned.

I know I've said this before somewhere but we need a radical solution like the so called 'Boris Island' or Thames Hub option.


No more planes going over London(remember what it was like when all the planes were grounded because of the volcano?), Gatwick and Heathrow completely redeveloped to pay for it and provide much needed housing to the west and south of London, direct fast transport links, including from Herne Hill by the looks of it.


There's too much money involved in retaining the status quo to the detriment of the majority and the advantage of a minority for it to happen but it seems to make so much sense to me

All the more reason to redevelop it for housing. Both Gatwick and Heathrow (in particular) have very good transport links. And think of the noise improvement over London itself. We get a plane going over our house in East Dulwich low just before six EVERY BLOODY MORNING!!Don't know which airport it's going into but it would be lovely to lose it. Even at a cost of billions!

Using that logic. "no one who has ever used a car can complain about getting knocked down and killed by a car."

Wouldn't the direct comparison to be hit by a crashing airplane.

I dont think Noise and being killed are compareable..


I doubt very much Fazer that whatever medication you may be on, it would not be available on prescription.

Unfortunately there's as yet no medication which can cure me of idiotic people.



Let's be clear I am not comparing Noise with being Killed!


I am comparing your insane logic.


If you still don't understand let's accept that is further proof of your need for serious help medical or otherwise.

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm guessing that most people with pets would not bring either the pets or fireworks into their day to day conversations, to complain or otherwise. Are you suggesting that only "timid" pets are scared by fireworks? What evidence do you have for that, exactly?  Or are you equating being scared of fireworks with being "timid"? And what about the foxes and other wildlife? Is it ok for them to be scared? Firework noise is not a noise that "comes with normal city living" ! What a very strange thing to say! Are you one of the people who have been constantly letting off fireworks recently? I'm assuming you don't have any pets yourself, or you wouldn't have these opinions, but if you do have pets, please share how they react when they hear loud bangs. Unless they are goldfish, in which case you probably wouldn't be able to tell.

      Well, I know a lot of people in London with pets and I've never heard any of them complain about fireworks.  Maybe what's not ok is keeping timid animals in a metropolis when they are scared of the noises that come with normal city living.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      We git a ticket when we tried to park there to watch the fireworks.  Anyways we didn't even get a space and so we didn't actually park.  But we got a penalty notice.  We just paid up.  And we won't be taking our car their ever again.  You probably needed a Southwark council visitors permit.  I imagine it would have needed to be booked online B4 or by the end of the day that you parked. Beat thing to do is contact Southwark Council Estate parking to clarify the situation.   I hope your freebie was worth the value of your penalty.
