CONCERNING Mr Beaver’s letter ‘Taking Action over the airfield’ in this week’s Postbag, the inference is that other people are not as “qualified” as he to pass comment.

He believes that only the “educated few” know what is best for our countryside.

Clearly the environmental and structural impact of a development of this nature has as much to do with the local residents as with the airfield, but wait; that is amplified in Core Policy 9, as he will know!

If the airfield management can’t make the airfield pay in its present form, while maintaining the commitments that they took on in the first place then maybe they should hand it on to somebody who can.
