Seems common sense (from an airspace point of view) is beginning to prevail
WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT THE CHANNEL ISLANDS CONTROL ZONE (CICZ) WILL NOT PRECLUDE SPECIAL VFR WI THE CICZ CLASS A AIRSPACE. THE REGULATOR IS MAKING NO JUDGEMENTS AS TO THE SUITABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR FLIGHTS AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL OPERATOR TO CARRY OUT THEIR OWN RISK ASSESSMENT PRIOR TO FLIGHT AND SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY ARE FLYING INTO AIRSPACE WHERE THERE IS A KNOWN RISK TO AVIATION DUE TO VOLCANIC ASH. PILOTS SHOULD BRIEF THEMSELVES BEFORE FLIGHT ON THE ATC SERVICES AVBL FM ADJACENT ATC UNITS ON LEAVING THE CICZ AND ON CROSSING THE ZONE BOUNDARY, PILOTS MUST ENSURE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE VFR.
I am lead to believe other bits of similarly classed airspace are soon to follow
