I can only speak as a customer and as a Bristol council tax payer.
I am appreciative of the extra local air services that arrived during his tenure and for the fact that I got straight answers from him on the two occasions I had cause to raise matters concerning the airport's service.
I also recognise that the airport rose in value phenominally during that period and, when Bristol City Council eventually sold out, a very large sum found its way into the council's coffers.
Whether thecouncil is spending this money wisely is a matter of opinion - I am aware of the restrictions on what the money can be spent on, and central government also took its cut.
