The piling work on the extension to the immigration hall that only 48 hours ago had to be done at night has now switched to the day despite the comment from the airport below
Overnight works:
We have explored all possible alternatives to overnight working. However, because the location of the work is close to an official UK Border, passenger areas and a live airfield, the work must be carried out overnight for safety and security reasons.
Funny how when the airport found out that the BBC local TV news were about to do a live broadcast on the subject from the Holiday Inn with a nice view of the control tower in the background they soon changed their mind although by this time the council were muttering about a breach of planning consent.
The noise could be heard from over a mile away so it will not be a great experience for passengers and staff who will be just a few feet away.
The completion of work on the terminal cannot come soon enough and will have passed the half way mark now. I can't see any prospect of further major projects being carried out on the terminal for no other reason than a lack of space to build a further extension. Just hope that the passengers like it when it is finished but I think all that will be achieved will be more passenger misery but on a bigger scale as key issues like a lack of seating don't appear to be high on the list of proposed improvements.
