Just bringing this up again for the following reason...........
An organisation called "The Cheshire and Warrington local enterprise partnership" have just published their revised "Strategic Economic Plan"
Some facts they trumpet are;-
871 square miles in area
population 920,000
41,000 businesses
£27.6 billion economy
forecast to grow by 2040 to
£50.0 billion economy
extra 120,000 jobs
build 127,000 houses
But absolutely no mention of aviation in the slightest. Even their maps only show two airports (MAN + LPL) neither of which are in Cheshire
You might be tempted to think the benefits of Business aviation has passed over this lot's heads.........
