Late in the day, they tried moving the route between the two control zones to the west to try to placate the nimbys, exiting the LL CTR near Fairoaks then turning east to route just east of OCK. This resulted in a few close shaves with Farnborough PAR traffic and Fairoaks departures which those people who planned the route didn't take into account as it was open FIR; their brief was just to deconflict the routes when inside controlled airspace and as far as they were concerned, this airspace was 'empty' of (IFR) conflictions!!
