Grrr

This new dual carriageway, I have heard it is to be named Buster the Bear Way. A good choice of name!

Spot the spelling mistake on the label?

You're not the only bear in town. This one is still waving the flag for the opening of the airports railway station.

I see that concrete is finally now being poured for Ocean Sky’s new apron.

Something to silence the doubters...

while the airport saw 8.9% growth in passenger numbers in 2011, it reduced carbon emissions by 3.1%.

I assume the reason why taxiway echo? is closed is because of the new private apron?

50cm? Not being funny - that's a fair old drop for an aircraft wheel to go over if I am not being an idiot and imagining it wrong?

That's at the side of the taxiway that extends for 5m along what was once grass.

Unless things have changed while I'm on leave, Taxiway Echo does not close until after the outbound Wizzair rush, between 0830 and 0900.

Stevenage Council in favour of Luton Airport expansion

Nice to see someone in Herts wanting this...
Stevenage council backs Luton Airport expansion - News - The Comet

How that will place the local MP as he covers Harpenden as well, time will tell?

Next the approval of the proposed A505 route from M1 to A1(M) as once suggested? Could bring vital jobs and place more businesses relocating local rather than people communting to London.....

The MP for Stevenage is Stephen McPartland. Stevenage is a marginal seat that covers the town of Stevenage. Stephen McPartland "opposes the [airport's] expansion plans".
The MP for North East Hertfordshire is Oliver Heald. NE Herts is a safe Conservative seat and includes Letchworth, Baldock & Royston as well as much of rural east Herts including Buntingford and almost as far east as Bishops' Stortford. Oliver Heald is more concerned about fighting Stansted expansion, and favours "Boris Island".
The MP for Hitchin and Harpenden is Peter Lilley. This is also a safe Conservative seat; the name describes the area. On his website, Peter Lilley says he wants to "limit" Luton Airport expansion.

Mr Bust you are on leave so much, by the time you return there will be four runways and a road named Buster the Bear Way!

LGS6753, sorry it was a loaded statement on how the local councils may just be starting to see things different from the local MPs.

Pabely,

Sorry, didn't wish to sound pompous. You certainly have a point that the MPs are viewing things differently to the councils in Hertfordshire.

Divide and rule!
