Thanks for your replies, it would appear your ATC handle these operations differently to how it's being sold here. E airspace is being sold here as being completely unrestricted to VFR aircraft.

All around the country there are jump zones that conflict with arriving/departing jets that now recieve a separation service in C airspace. From next month that airspace becomes E and they can do what they like and we have the options of passing traffic or moving the jets. Being able to regulate the movements of the jumpers is being denied to us, supposedly because we are adopting your airspace system, yet we are doing this differently???
