ALT Runway operations not as advertised; departures are actually from the southern runway. Is there going to runway alternation at 3pm or are we to have this all day?

They were departing from 27L (southern runway) on 16th from 15:00 AND this morning 17th they are still departing from 27L. What has happened to the runway alternation?
Can we expect runway alternation at 15:00 to change departures to runway 27R (northern runway?

Night flights are known to lead to greater health risks, lost productivity & disrupted sleep, which is why I want a ban on night flights at @HeathrowAirport. The status quo is not acceptable, yet the Gvt is proposing that we keep the current regime for another 3 years.

A crucial article on why people who expose problems get blamed for them. It's a psychological reflex called spontaneous trait transference.

Today we were doing odd jobs in the new home of someone who had to flee from
@Schiphol
I think it's brave but bizarre that people have to leave their familiar home, friends and family just to be able to sleep at night.
Vandaag klussen in de nieuwe woning van iemand die op de vlucht moest voor @Schiphol. Ik vind het dapper maar bizar dat mensen hun vertrouwde stekje, vrienden en familie moeten verlaten puur om te kunnen slapen 's nachts. #zinin #langerit #hadjemaarniet

"SAF produces up to 70% less carbon emissions than the traditional fossil fuels"
Why does this GOV keep lying to us? SAF does NOT produce 70% less carbon emissions. It produces the same carbon emissions as conventional fuel but from non fossil origins. gov.uk/government/news/aviat…

De vliegindustrie is mordicus tegen krimp van Schiphol. Het belangrijkste argument: nieuwe toestellen zijn de helft stiller en dus effectiever om de geluidsoverlast te beperken. Uit nieuwe metingen blijkt glashard dat het gewoonweg niet waar is.
