Definitely looks like civil war, @jtonline. Well, in so much that it started, Keith wants the airport and kicked Tina out.
Lib Dems making party political planning decisions - that’s not allowed, right?
Currently watching the Teams meeting. Many councillors are AGAINST it, and there’s a few heated comments about the age of the Council and individual Cllrs.
However the majority seem FOR it, for the moment. A handful of those saying “It’s Planning Law. Under Planning Law, we can’t stand in the way” but many are scared about the airport closing and the job losses.

Thanks for providing this.
I submitted a written statement in support of the proposal that was read out approximately 2:12:15 here:
The University of Southampton is world renowned for its aeronautical engineering. What I would love to see is a partnership between the university, the airport, the freeport and the Solent Enterprise Zone to develop world class electric aircraft that would keep people moving, but at the same time help set an example to others re: emissions.
It could really put Eastleigh on the map again, a bit like Supermarine did all those years ago…

I didn’t know that about Southampton! Sounds a great idea, or dream - I can’t work out which!

Excellent points. Did this form part of the evidence against extension? If so how was it received? If not, why not?
