Come on folks. We know this will never be down to a H & S issue in the end. This is pure micro politics and anyone will face an uphill struggle to win over. No I don't mean youy should roll over and accespt it. But situations like these can often only be one with a war / total change. In this case the police would need to be removed as the airfield 'operator' and the owners leasing it to a private group / company who would operate it as a normal GA field.
Like many who used to enjoy my time at Southampton (Solent), this will be a great opertunity missed for a decent all weather (VFR) site, that this area lacks for GA traffic.
