Letter: Battle of Heathrow
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I have just had the misfortune to travel out and back into the country via Heathrow (letters, 15 October). What a desperate place! The traffic is colossal and the amount of time taken finding the long- term car park, waiting for a courtesy bus, being driven from one terminal to another is inordinate. On returning one has to suffer even more delay with late landings after stacking over South-east England.
How is the construction of another terminal going to improve matters? Better by far to develop some of our regional airports. Birmingham is a pleasure to go through. The facilities are not over-stretched and the staff are far less frayed.
How does one get the planners to drop their blinkers? Life does exist outside the South-east corner.
