SIR - I've lived in North Harpenden for several years without noticing excessive noise from planes. Is it just me or has anyone else recently realised that we now seem to be directly under a flight path! Every few minutes a plane goes overhead, starting early in the morning until late at night - what is going on and is there anything we can do about it?

My second gripe relates to reading that the proportion of household waste being recycled is increasing. Well of course it is as we are now restricted to however many sacks can fit fortnightly into the black wheelie bin (I can only manage two to three sacks!) Try and put any more in and the binmen will take them out and leave them on the pavement for you to take to the tip (where the contents are scrutinised...).
