Skipness 1E,
Can't get anything from your link, and without more information on where and when you got your information about the change it's difficult to help. Probably there is a time delay between the airfield operating authority re-designating the runway, and this information being passed on and published in the various charts. Something to do with AIRAC cycles?.
We certainly have problems getting our chart authority (Aerad) to keep up to date with our changes, and on the latest issue following a variation change, they have published some charts showing two degrees, and some with three degrees. And on the charts where they have got the correct variation, they have forgotten to amend the runway QDM! So a warning to aviators - charts may not always reflect the true state of play.
