ONE thing we can speculate on is...why the hell hasn't the airfield been SAFEGUARDED? I'm reasonably sure that these houses, less than 1000ft from the runway, were not there whenn Barton was first opened.
If I am correct, and the poor occupants do not pull through, then those in the planning department should be culpable. Time and again I see planning permission granted for housing developments close to arfields - this is why SAFEGUARDING was invented; for the safety of all.
Drunken rant over...
