Don't blame you for getting rid of traffic in the LLR to Manchester. If I were working Liverpool APP I wouldn't want to be working in a confined area were some of the traffic is working Manchester and some not. I wish I knew why Manchester was made the controlling agency but it's lost in the mists of time! I was working at Liverpool in the 1970's, (as a very small child of course)! No-one knew then! As squadgy says, I've been asked to look into a better way of providing a service in the LLR, and I've had some feedback from you guys. I'd like to say it's going somewhere but at present it's all disappeared down a black hole at the Directorate of Airspace policy so I'm not holding my breath!

P.S.Are you chaps getting a nice pay rise for all that extra traffic?
