I regularly fly from Lee with aircraft hired from Carill Aviation.

In the days of mixed use, gliders and powered flight seemed to get along fine and I wasn't aware of any safety issues, although the gliding activity was quite intense at times.
Police and MCA movements are few but obviously demand the highest priority.

The current threatend ban on GA from the 16th is devastating to the businesses and users on site.

Lee has an excellent runway, quick access to class G airspace and is a joy to fly from, I hope the current problems will be resolved by reasonable compromise - I am sure there is a way forward here to suite everyone's needs.
