WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?
Indeed, Fairdealfrank! The answer being: fabulously large amounts of
£££
The court case that would try to resolve the compulsory purchase of LHR, lock, stock and two smoking runways is beyond words. It would be:
  1. the nationalisation of the airport.
  2. the redevelopment by the govt.
  3. the selling off to try and get the money back.
Would someone like to nominate a successful example of the UK govt doing this in the post war era??
