Plymouth City Airport protected til 2021!

Today the City Council passed the notion of safeguarding Plymouth City Airport from development til 2021, with possibility of increasing til 2031. They are protecting it as long as legally possible. And also are lobbying to Central Government to make it a national asset and state ownership. This would make it easier to take the lease away from SHH.

I think its the first step in a long path that will hopefully see PLH reopen Very happy today, the airport should never have closed and was run down with the intention of development.

There are people with backing who want to take the airport on, its the lease that has become the problem . The city is fighting for its Airport and im dam proud they are!
