Assuming Northbound is correct in his/her assertion about length of time on the board, there might be a case to ask why one particular councillor remains on the board for 8 years. 8 years of continued service would likely lead to the councillor in question becoming rather too chummy with the people from Peel and rather less likely to raise awkward questions at any airport board meetings on behalf of the council.
