Also SEN shuts overnight which doesn’t help. They have got to be the most vulnerable airport out of the 6 airports, which is a shame as they were really going places.

Looks like the council will be holding an emergency budget in July.

The impact of coronavirus means our airport company has not been receiving any air passenger income so has been unable to pass on money to the council which we rely upon so heavily to fund many of your vital frontline services.

Plans are underway to prepare an emergency budget in the summer where myself and other councillors will be forced to agree to extremely difficult cuts to key services unless our request for immediate cash is successful.
Find it hard to see how the planned £124 million access road to T2 is going to be built when it was being funded by the council when the council can’t fund social services.
