About time.
Unfortunately, we know this won't stop some.

While there is a NOTAM there does not appear to be a corresponding chart updat to reflect this. Is this normal?

Also Home is still showing them as prohibited.

There is also a bulletin advising map users to remove these areas pending the reissue of the charts. It would get rather expensive otherwise.

Most people who fly over these places don't even know what a NOTAM is.
Know your audience.

That is one reason I posted this information under the Commercial Pilots section who in the UK should know about NOTAMs and where to find following the ground school.
