Wouldn’t get my approval but “anything for growth” seems to be the order of the day.
Have to disagree. These are long due and the issues are overblown. The residents have known for decades the airport could be expanded. Its not like its thrust upon them overnight.
In any case, I doubt they’ll happen.
Sadiq says he’ll file cases in court to block it, obviously worried about his re-election prospects.
Andy Burnham is against it as he thinks its at the cost of Northern airports. Did anyone say there’ll be no development in the North? Does he even understand HAL is a private company investing the money and not the government?
Was thinking it was just the boomers and gen x sitting on councils blocking all developments, but its clear this country is full of NIMBYs.
