Don't you think this is a complete waste of money and very short term thinking? Millions of pounds for a link road to an airport that is full and very difficult and expensive to improve with a terrible winter weather record. No real prospect of longer range routes from that runway. Planes are parked on the taxiways now. What airside development has there been in the last 8 years apart from a tin weather tunnel? Where is the planning for the medium and long term? Wallpaper over a great big crack! Time for a new wall.
