Phew! I’m sure she’s a really nice person?
These honours lists are definitely a pointer to greatness...J.Saville et al,anyone?
Give her credit though.,she managed to have a say in obtaining millions out of Cumbrian tax payers(and government) to develop an airport ( not withstanding COVID) out of money which could have been better spent on social care,the needy,genuine transport infrastructure and the general well-being of the area.?

Conservative Penrith and the Border MP Dr Neil Hudson said: “I am thrilled that Carlisle Airport has the potential to receive up to £8 million to help it protect jobs during these challenging times.
“I hope that this funding application marks a turning point for the airport – which is so important for our community and wider region.

This is just a fresh round of stories relating to the fact that English airports can now apply for the scheme that was announced last year. CAX will get nowhere near £8m - from memory it covers a years business rates.

Carlisle Airport has not made the cut with the selection of Freeports announced by the Chancellor today.
Possibly perhaps had been the hoped ace in the hole for Esken?

Locations too spread out I should imagine. Neither BWF or CAX suitable for any kind of air treight.
And just try the drive from Workington to CAX if you have some spare hours.
Nice idea though.

I'm surprised they didnt make the cut. Not surprised about CAX though... it was always a bit speculative that one.
