Marble, and Robert Hough timeline.

Ah I raised the "fee" question as you mentioned one before.
As for marble and fancy glass, I'm sure the charity trustees wouldn't allow such extravagance at the new HQ?

The plans for the Urlay Nook GNAA site say it has to be built within 3 years, so it will be just before Robert Hough's comments of only guaranteeing the airport for 5 years when he was questioned by the press last year.

Robert Hough quote:
"Secondly, there is an agreement we have entered into with the local authorities which is a framework under which we will give assurances for the future to keep open the airport for a period of 10 years with a break at five years or thereafter in the event of certain financial criteria not being met.

To do that, it is very rare for an airport operator particularly in a smaller regional airport to guarantee continuity for any period of time. These breaks provide options".

Re the quote "in the event of certain financial criteria not being met", has Robert revealed what those criteria are?
Have Peel published the figures anywhere? It would seen the councils were informed, where is this information on councils websites?
