I AM glad to see a heliport is to be constructed next to the racecourse for Ascot week.

I hope it will be big enough to accommodate the large number of helicopters which will be employed in ferrying food and water to motorists stranded in the gridlock which will occur if last Tuesday is anything to go by.
