Surely there is an argument to be made, in the case of the historic wartime airfields where many of our pilots lived, worked and died, that redevelopment of this land would really be quite an offensive act - I mean, no one would consider sticking a Tesco's on to of the site of the Battle of Naseby....would they?
Tesco would!
On a serious note, got a reply from my MP today, Mark Lancaster, which looks like it may be a standard reply, as it sounds like HelenD's response - loads of waffle about housing being undoubtedly needed, etc.
He does make a some valid points, but interestingly he has hand written a PS which says:
"PS This issue was raised in the house today"
The letter is dated 2nd March - anyone heard what was said in the House?
