No doubt all your readers are now familiar with the discussion surrounding the proposed expansion of Shoreham Airport, which apparently sees itself as "a platform for the regeneration of the area".
Who are they kidding? Not their neighbours! The residents of Adur do not want the airport in any form.
They do not want the pollution, the noise or the potential target in the event of military hostility.
What about a nature reserve? True, it wouldn't make much money but then neither does the airport.
If the owning authorities want to keep it, let them have it in their own backyard.
Deduct the PR puff from their proposals and what have we got? A noisy, stinking drain on resources that benefits the affluent few and is a constant source of irritation to everyone else.
