Sadly NATS cannot unilaterally change airspace overnight. So they thought this may help.
No, but the issue of infringements in SE England has been highlighted about a decade ago and there hasn't been any significant airspace redesign. Volumes of Class A airspace with complex changing base levels are still all over the place with tiny gaps between Class D and ATZs.

A disaster waiting to happen - vertically and laterally.

Ye, setting up Farnborough has helped. So has AWARE and Skydemon and all your lectures to pilots across the UK. Nonetheless several hundred infringements continues to happen every year

Just look at NY, SOCAL TRACON, and other highly complex areas like FRANKFURT and BRUSSELS and see how and why they never have such problems.

One key reason is because the airspace is actually designed with ALL users in mind and the traffic advisories and clearances are continous and seamless!
