Sorry if this is old news for some (announced on Friday I think), but there will now be 2 enquiries for Coventry Airport:
The first one over the temporary terminal.
The second one over the permanent terminal.
For those of us that have elected to speak at the enquiry, this looks like twice the time to be spent saying the same arguments over and over again. I suppose that following the initial expected defeat at WDC on 11th Sept, we can hope that 3rd time round, our message will have got through!
So even more tax payers' money will be wasted on an enquiry which should basically end up determining the obvious - that you can't run an airport without a terminal, that an established site is the logical place for passenger flights, and that whatever your feelings about the growth in aviation, no council has the right to victimise an indivdual airport to the extent that WDC have over CVT.
Warwick MP James Plaskitt is calling on the airport to "come clean" over its application - after WMD and now Blunkett's dealings, not to mention the whole hoax airport White Paper fiasco, who does he think he's kidding?
