Remote SSR feeds for airport approach control

At airports which don't have their own SSR head but buy in coverage from a remote site or sites, would it be possible and/or desirable for the radar display to simultaneously show data from more than one site ? For example, Leeds Bradford Airport has, for many years, used the NATS site at Claxby as its preferred SSR provider, with Great Dun Fell as a back up. Would it be technically or theoretically possible for both to be used at once to provide improved overall coverage ? There could well be a cost implication but I wondered if multiple site coverage would otherwise be advantageous.

Thankyou.
