Perish the thought that Manchester stops becoming the poor relation of the airport capacity debate and somebody in Whitehall recognises the siginifact part it plays. They might then suggest widening the M56 ?
Airport capacity and airport access are two different debates Bagso. In terms of access, surely you should be turning your attention towards Transport for the North rather than Whitehall? They are the ones charged with developing the investment strategies for the strategic local transport network needed for growth in the North, not the DfT. And surely we should be lobbying TfN for improved access to all our ports and airports, not just Manchester?
