Airport to Close???????

Have read and heard from several sources that due to lack of ATCOs airports in the UK face closing for periods next year. When you consider Finningley/Liverpool are struggling to find controllers and are poaching from other units yet still face problems in validating these before the projected start time next year, is it wise for companies to be investing in Finningley, is it wise for customers to even consider using Finningley.

This isn't just a problem at Finningley but is happening all over. Especially at a unit on the south coast which could be forced to close for an extended period.
