Speak out – loudly – about night flight noise

-

If you do not like Heathrow air-planes taking off over your head at 00:40, you can email Heathrow Community Relations at noise@heathrow.com.

This time, the flight was at 00:44 on Saturday morning.

It was low, 2,400ft, and created a 29 decibel noise spike.

The night flight regime for Heathrow is being reviewed, and whilst there are emergencie­s and aircraft do need to land, when it comes to take-offs, the situation is very different.

Deciding to send a plane out when tens of thousands of local residents are sleeping is clearly going to disrupt people’s sleep.

Medically, we are told we should get eight hours sleep.

How about we ban take-offs between 22:00 and 06:00?
