"A look at plans to develop an international airport in the Warwickshire countryside"

That would sound like they were referring to the Rugby proposals!

CVT is surrounded by a crisp factory, a car plant, two major trunkroads and a sewage works. And let's not pretend that Stoneleigh is anything other than a dormitory village for Leamington and Coventry.

which have led to a furious battle between a rural district council

You mean Warwick District Council, the majority of who's residents live in the TOWNS of Royal Leamington Spa (just 35 opponents to the airport, about 20 in favour; Warwick - 4 against and Kenilworth - 6 against & 10 in favour).

and a huge travel company.

Well, except that the opposition was just as strong when Air Atlantique still had the lease.

Good old BBC impartiality again!
