Roaring Over Richmond


Plans to expand London's Heathrow airport apparently involve many of the additional flights passing over Richmond Park (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/28/heathrow-expansion-plan-involves-planes-over-richmond-park). This will result in a marked increase in the stresses to which the animal (as well as the human) occupants are exposed. I appreciate that there might be some adaptation with time but the effects will be entirely negative. Also, when trying to do something meaningful about the release of 'greenhouse gases', the last thing you need is more airline activity.
