I know the following won't interest all of you, but Sheffield FSB's Neville Martin has sent this out today;
You recently signed the Federation of Small Businesses’ petition calling on Sheffield City Council to “....urgently ensure that any redevelopment of the site of the former Sheffield City Airport (including further destruction of its infrastructure) is proscribed until an independent public enquiry is held to look into the potential for its future use as a facility for commercial aviation.”
You will be delighted to know that the petition has surpassed its target of 5,000 signatories, and this allows us to force the Council to debate the issue in open forum.
We shall be formally presenting the petition to the Council at 10.15am on Thursday 14 February at Sheffield Town Hall. If any signatories would like to attend the handover, we shall be meeting with Timothy Kirkhope MEP, who has been a staunch supporter of our campaign, at the front of the Town Hall at 10.00am. It is hoped the Leader of the Council or a senior deputy will emerge to formally receive the petition and there will be a press photo opportunity.
Please feel free to attend.
