Well, it looks like Doncaster airport is going to close, winding down on 30th October and closing 4th November all bar a miracle.

With all this proposed Levelling Up, you'd have thought Donny could have taken some of the weight off us Heathrow victims.

I think it was Whittakers plan all along to run it down as soon as he bought it. They had two spoons in there and one closed a few years ago, there was never any interest from Peel to develop airlines only TUI now. The council put a nice link to the M18 and I expect houses will be built on the site. I'll give nick Fletcher MP his due he's worked hard to try and save it. There's a letter gone to Peel signed by 18 MPs what good that will do. But closing it doesn't make sense if it was run properly but I expect money making is behind the closure.

The new angle of attack by the MPS is a security and safety issue if Donny airport closes, they are wanting Trevelyan MP the transport secretary to compulsory purchase it. All is not lost it seems.

Doesn't come across as particularly blue tinged ideology.

I don't think Tommy Cashman will enjoy prison for killing that child. But that's good.

I read that he's been charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder and possessing a firearm with intent to cause injury or death? Well words to that effect. I hope that some barrister doesn't run rings around the CPS because as I understood it, murder has to be premeditated, and I may be wrong but I imagine it would be difficult to prove that he set out to kill the little poppet, so it seems like unlawful killing for the poor little mite's death. If found guilty on any of those charges (which seems likely) he won't get off without a stretch, and unless he has back up scrotes inside (likely?) his real punishment will commence behind those iron barred gates. Maggot.

I'm sure he will be looked after in prison the odd cup of sugary boiling water. 😉

We find out today if the consortium wanting to buy DSA will succeed, £9 million won't be enough for Whittaker, I think, its been his intention to build houses on the site from day 1.

It is absolutely amazing news to hear the hard work that has been going on in the background to try and find a buyer for our award winning Doncaster Sheffield Airport has been successful! There are three private sector investors with interest in taking control of DSA that have been found and have been put forward to Peel. Those investors include a major international infrastructure investor, a Gulf-based conglomerate and a UK based regional airport investor. It’s also great to hear that airlines currently operating at DSA would stay and continue operations if the airport does remain open. Ros Jones has also said ‘There is also considerable interest from new airlines, freight and other aviation industries that would like to use and invest in the airport and would do if Peel would end this uncertainty and negotiate’. This shows that there is serious interest in our award winning airport and that a positive future is possible if Peel make the right decision! We now await for a response from Peel and we pray that this time they make the right decision! The offer has been made clear to Peel and it’s also been made very clear to them that if Peel decide to make the wrong decision and go ahead with the closure then Doncaster Council are prepared to ‘initiate the process for a Compulsory Purchase Order of the airport and investigate if we can go to the courts for a Judicial Review of Peel’s decision to close’. Fingers crossed the right decision is made and DSA can remain open!🤞🏻✈️

Good if it's the regional airports investor what or whomsoever that may be, otherwise it's "Selling England by the pound" all over again. Anyone investing will want their pound of flesh. I watched pond life asean investors close my company, our sister company and then The Group head office and associated production facility down. We all know that ours was not an isolated case.

One of the last flights into Doncaster yesterday, sad to see the staff out thanking us for using the airport, over 1000 people finished just for the greed and power trip of an over 80 year old. The Tories levelling up agenda gone wrong again, like everything else they promise.

Meanwhile, flights are now occupying previously unavailable vacant air space over Heathrow. We live about three miles off to the south of the runways, so they go up and come down parallel to us and life is good. Or rather it was because those canny ATCs now have airplanes flying over us. Think about that for a nano second- aircraft approaching and taking off with other traffic flying crossways through the middle. It's now like O'Hare International, except that they have crossed runways too FFS. Of course, Heathrow has diagonal crossways too, but they were never ordinarily in use. Still, I expect all will be alright especially if Bill's Bilge is powering their mission critical decisions.

I doubt it G the people there are assigned to it closing on 5th. Apparently planning has been approved for half the housing project. The arrival board yesterday said the final flight into DSA was 21.15.
