Peel have been blocked from building 600 houses in another council area.
Are they waiting for a new government before applying to build on DTV Airport land?
I thought the house building was the main part of their Master Plan.
Government BLOCKS Peel Group's controversial Worsley Greenway plan for 600 homes - Manchester Evening News

Apart from the same company being involved what's the connection between the two developments?

The only connection is Beafer, must be too wet to walk the poodle today!
Development work is proceeding slowly up at the airport.

They have been working for months.

I think Beafer meant doing what?!

Ground preparation on the North side, amazed he hasn't seen them.

Looks like the start of the Southside road groundwork's.


You don't half spend some time trawling the net for rubbish Beafer, anything in the Dandy or Beano?

Been on the Piiiis Beafer or is your keyboard stuck?


Trolling well pot kettle black comes to mind!

Bit quiet so a couple of recent stories:

Teesside air show returns - and here's what you can see (From The Northern Echo)

Andy Preston the guy who uses his parents house as his postal address whilst living in a mansion at Thirsk!

The Echo have twisted those figures a bit, passenger numbers were up last month, only being down on the Aberdeen, why compare March to March? Something to do with the financial year? I thought annual passenger numbers were based on January to December?

Good to see the airport giving a lengthy and detailed quote for a change though, instead of just the usual couple of lines.

DTV PAX. stats.
 

I think that was the best month to quote as I'm sure the previous two months the airport figures were down.....and also the KLM Amsterdam figures? I might be wrong?

It's still not looking encouraging though which ever spin /month/day/route/plan you put on it?:{

That is what all airports do! As each month has different levels of demand so it makes to best comparison to show the figures against the same month in the previous year.

It's also the way the CAA present the stats - don't expect a journo to actually have done any analysis themselves??

adfly - I get that, but they're not comparing this March to the previous March, they're comparing the 12 months starting in March and finishing in March which I found odd? An airports annual passenger numbers are the ones between January - December, not March - March?
