It makes me laugh, the people that start these petitions clearly have no clue whatsoever.
Why can't people see past holiday flights?? Yes they would be nice, but there is so much more to airports than that.
As for the Northern Echo article:
Coun Hobson said: “To build on the airport, to me, is sacrilege. It is the beginning of the end.”
Read the plans, they're not building on the airport, they're building adjacent to it, there is no threat whatsoever to the existing airport
MORE than 2,500 people have signed a petition calling on the Government to safeguard Durham Tees Valley Airport.
As someone else pointed out on here a couple of weeks back, that's like, 0.002% of the region, Downing Street won't give it a second glance, and if they did what would/could they do?!
She also believes that rather than investing in London airports, more flights should be diverted to Teesside
Says it all
and that the airport should be offering more destinations to be seen as a real alternative to Newcastle Airport.
Does she really think Peel aren't constantly on the phone and in meetings etc trying to achieve this?????

No. Contrary to what some on here believe, they've got more sense
