Runway extension update
As reported in the local press, the eight and a half year wait for a decision on the 190m runway extension has been extended further by those good people of NWLDC.
The reason given by head of environment at the council Steve Bambrick, was that it was a "contentious application", so they are now going to drag-out their decision making for a few more months.
In light of the current employment situation, I would have thought the council would be doing its upmost to create and secure jobs at the airport - but then again NWLDC's attitude towards the airport has always appeared to me to be lukewarm at best!
Perhaps in light of the previous post the airport management should link the application to the nearby F1 operation - it would be rubber stamped in no time at all....!
