That's a bit rich from Cornwall County Council. As I understand it the RAF ceased military flying on 31 July and wanted to close the airfield. The Council asked the RAF to provide air traffic services until they were ready as closing the airfield would mean financial problems. The runway resurfacing and lighting replacement has been completed on time with the RAF accepting the risk of continued operations not the Council.
In an video on the
this is Cornwall - News, Sport and Entertainment news from Cornwall site the Colin Jarvis (Deputy Director, Cornwall County Council) states the CAA complimented them on the runway and standard of runway lighting. He also says the CAA complimented them on the way they worked on a live airfield - as indicated earlier I think the RAF staff managed that risk.
The major show stopper as far as the Council are concerned is air traffic control is not up and running, that was totally in their hands.
