More nimby lies

Just saw they are now claiming that Coventry City Council passed a motion in 2003 stating they were against the airport operating passenger flights.

That would be a really good one - an airport can't even get support from its own city council.

Unfortunately for them, it is yet another lie in an increasingly tiresome attempt to get these flights stopped.

The real facts of the matter, as opposed to the claim on the "facts" website, are that all Cov Council ever voted on was a response to the aviation paper (24th Oct 2002), which condemned Rugby (a no brainer), and supported freight at CVT & the continued development of BHX for passengers. There were no proposals for any airline to operate from CVT, so no mention was made in the motion.
