No it's not. We live closer to the runway than, I think, any of you lot, and nobody in the entire road has ever mentioned the aircraft as a noise nuisance once. The principal source of noise here is early morning arrivals into Heathrow being vectored low and slow across the area.
What should be closed is the New Economics Foundation, who came up with this latest lot of rubbish. Who provides the with their funds ? Well the fourth largest contributor to their £2m operating costs is, believe it or not, the European Commission....... now, I don't see the NEF having a go at airports in Frankfurt or Paris; no, they say, let's stitch up a facility used by the financiers in London so we can divert some of that world trade to the Continent.
