The expansion of Shoreham airport is fantastic news and long overdue. The airfield is the oldest in the country and has been there since 1910, so there is absolutely no cause for anyone to complain.
Four flights a day from Shoreham to the Continent and further afield would take some of the strain off Gatwick's long-haul flights and give more employment locally. Airfields are meant for flying, so let's get on with it now.
It would be good to see runway 25/07 concreted and surfaced with Tarmac for better all-weather use and bigger and better aircraft carrying more people to as many places as possible.
When I designed and built the war memorial outside the main terminal building three years ago, we all knew the growth would continue year by year.
It is a great pity Lancing and Shoreham are at each end of the field or we could otherwise acquire some more land for the extensions.
