LHR delays due to low staffing levels

Got a delay the other day because of this. Annoying as it is. I was impressed with how the tower controller was able to utilise both runways to overcome the increased approach spacing due to the ground controller shortage.

The combination of the airfield works and these shortages is giving "airfield congestion" delays, that appear to be occuring more regularly.

Will they reduce once the works finish?

Cheers
