DJ6 - you seem to have a rather a downer on the weekend Jersey BE flts. Can you expand as to why?
Also, when did you last see a phrase such as
...booming as an airport again...
applied to Blackpool?
Being serious, Blackpool did have a large area of underused land which got sold off for retail etc development (I'm thinking of the area around Morrisons) and survived, as did Liverpool, so there is nothing wrong with the model as such, just at first glance the DTVA master plan looks a bit flakey (suppose I better finish reading the document now!)
