As a supporter of the airport this is to me, just another spin of the Peel
PR machine which has been in force since day one.
Who stands to reap the rewards the most - Peel. As a consequence of the land they will sell/lease.
Where will the £280M come from - the hope is that funding will come from a mixture of private and public money procured from both regional and national Government.
Wildly unsubstantiated figures from Peel (who were well out on the last masterplan). Before any apologists state other factors got in the way, they can also do so in the future.
The figures quoted are an inflation of the very best outcome and not reality in my opinion.
