Prevent noise spikes from night flights

At 01:30 am, early last Saturday morning, Heathrow launched a plane and the noise spread across Datchet, Slough, Maidenhead, Windsor and Burnham.

It had been quiet – and then the overflight caused a 32 decibel noise spike.

It is the change in noise level that wakes people. Disrupting people’s sleep has well known medical consequences. Lists are easily obtained.

The night flights review is in progress.

How about we ban flights during the night hours?

No take-offs between 22:00 and 06:00 The medical recommendation is that we get eight hours of sleep at night
