Richmond council is lending its support to a campaign to ban night flights at Heathrow during the pandemic.

Whilst Heathrow has seen a 97% drop in passenger number there are still planes arriving and departing in the early hours of the morning.

Friends of the Earth is urging the government to introduce a complete moratorium on night flights between 11pm and 7am.

Sleep disruption is thought to adversely affect health issues like heart disease and stress.
