Re the runway and ATC Tower, if you read it carefully it in itself is little more than rehashed spin.
It starts strongly saying this year will be the year the runway extension is built.
However those are the words of the Evening Mail and NOT Mr Keehoe.He continues to sit on the fence and says "IF it happens it COULD be built by 2014"
The article goes onto say it is still unclear where £12 million for the road diversion work will come from.
In relation to the new ATC tower this now has nothing to do with the runway extension.Although submitted in the original application with the runway,it was then split.BHX now say the tower is being built now simply because the old one is falling to bits.
Not saying that the ex
tension work won't start this year, but its not what the article detail is saying..title grabs the attention though !
