A couple of interesting items in the local paper (Leamington Courier)

1) The Office of Fair Trading announced that the sale of the airport will NOT be investigate, after the Anti-Airport gang complained to OFT. OFT states that TUI do not hold a buisness monopoly which was more than 25% than other airline companies in the UK
Craig Greenway, spokesman for the anti airport gang said he was dissapointed the investigation was not getting the go-ahead. He said "we have to stand by what the OFT claims and don't want to attack it. We have to go down every avenue. We` are confident we will succeed and are currently researching other avenues"
Kimberly Kay Marketing Director of Coiventryu Airport said "we are pleased that the OFT has decided not to investigate. we are not surprised at the decision"

2) Coventry City Council has offered the airport use of land for car parking. Councillor Mutton said "we support the airport because of the new jobs it is creating but we want it done sensitivitely to minimise impact"

That should put an end to the car parking debate
