HEATHROW AIRPORT has restricted access to Terminals 2 and 3 after a pipe leak within the airport grounds caused flooding in the central terminal area.

Passengers travelling to or from the two terminals cannot use roads and have been advised to travel by rail and Tube and avoid using cars.

An airport spokesperson said: "Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused," adding: "The leak has been isolated and repairs are on-going."

The disruption comes during the school holidays, one of the busiest periods for the airport.

Heathrow said July 19 was its busiest day of the year so far, with 267,000 passengers passing through the airport as many schools broke up for the summer.

The airport was recently affected by disruption to railway services after a water leak led to the closure of a tunnel.

£12,500 in savings can now trigger a tax bill if you earn more than £50,000

  • 5.3 million non-ISA savings accounts could now generate enough interest to trigger tax.
  • That is more than 11 times the number recorded in January 2018.
  • Higher-rate taxpayers can earn only £500 in savings interest before tax applies.

Britons earning more than £50,000 could face an unexpected tax bill on relatively modest savings, as higher interest rates collide with a Personal Savings Allowance that has remained unchanged for years.

Fresh analysis from Yorkshire Building Society suggests 5.3 million non-ISA savings accounts could now generate more than £1,000 in annual interest, potentially putting the interest earned on those accounts into the tax net. That is a sharp increase from about 462,000 accounts in January 2018.
