Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 23 January 2009
 
Wake up to aircraft din

THE Labour government decision, without a vote in Parliament, to press ahead with building a new runway at Heathrow came as bad news to anyone who cares about the environment as well as those of us in Islington who live under Heathrow’s flight path.
I’m a light sleeper and have been woken up by noisy planes flying low overhead, particularly in the early mornings from 5am. Many residents of Islington – from Crouch Hill to Clerkenwell – have told me they’ve had the same problems. Maps show that aircraft approaching the new runway will fly over Hampstead and Islington before beginning their descent over Paddington.
The government should have sorted the trains out, instead of pushing for more and more aeroplanes.
Cllr Julia Williams
Lib Dem, Hillrise ward
