Looking at the photo in the previous post is a joy to my eyes. The proposed replacement park is a treeless farmers field that is not even in Bedfordshire but in Hertfordshire. For those that want unlimited expansion at Luton there is always a price to pay. Yes I moved close to an airport that has been around for 80 years but I also moved close to major park that has a County Wildlife Site within it that could now disappear under terminal 2. There was no consultation over the ownership of the park, it was just handed over in a secret deal a few years ago and then kept quiet.

I might be LTNman and pro airport but I can see the bigger picture and it stinks. Sorry the price is too high so I will be objecting to any expansion outside the airports own boundary.

Also the cost will be over £1 billion, with LLAL borrowing the money from the council who will borrow the money from someone else. It could all go wrong but then greed often does.
