I agree - with MAN just over the hill there are far higher priorities.
No there are not higher priorities at all because absolutely nothing (and I mean nothing) is losing the North East and Yorkshire region more jobs, wealth and investment than having its main airport on a snowy 700ft constrained hilltop miles from the transport network.
For 40 years the North West have been grinning like the Cheshire cat at absolutely abject civil aviation transport failure within Yorkshire that has propelled Manchester airport skyward. Abject scandalous failure.
Of course Manchester airport/National govt. would love 1 million people in Sheffield to be able to get to MAN quicker but those people should be able to use 1 sensibly located and functioning airport within Yorkshire - And it is the responsibility of politicians to provide it. This is why Britain is slowly being divided up into the haves and have nots.
