Anyone know whether this has now been resolved and what the outcome is/was?
Knowing how much smoke the Serco fire training rigs can produce when lit, I don't think the mayor will want it anywhere near one of his private projects. He will probably ask Serco to move it to the old steelworks site.
If the airport management try to move the training rig to the north side, the neighbours may have something to say about the smoke.
