When are LCC to decide on the LBA terminal application as I seem to recall the 22nd oct mentioned a bit back?I believe LBAs terminal application should be a govt issue and not in the hands of retard LCC councillors.I feel an appeal, should rejection occur, be LBAs best chance.
from what I read the 22nd oct LCC meeting was actually to look at plans for a new 43 story student block to be built in leeds city centre which I believe will be the tallest building yet, great news for leeds but imagine all the electricity used creating more co2!Could well be that one of the councilors sneezed , had at test that proved positive and declared an infection and will have to be put back until the New Year
Wonder if they have anything terminal!Could well be that one of the councilors sneezed , had at test that proved positive and declared an infection and will have to be put back until the New Year
To be occupied by many overseas students who will arrive by air (post covid)from what I read the 22nd oct LCC meeting was actually to look at plans for a new 43 story student block to be built in leeds city centre which I believe will be the tallest building yet, great news for leeds but imagine all the electricity used creating more co2!
As I recall, the money for the Parkway Station is not Leeds money, it's West Yorkshire Combined Authority dealing with it, and the money was ring fenced for transport schemes. I think it was a condition set by Government when they rejected schemes such as the Leeds tram & Trolleybus, but allowed the funding to be kept. I don't think the council or combined authority can just spend it on other things.I refuse to believe that the termina development will be rejected. Maybe that's naive but it just wouldn't make economic sense. The real issue here though is that the council have tied themselves in knots on green strategies and just dont know how to untangle them. That's what happened in Bristol too.
But where have they got to go if they reject it? Nowhere,except a high court or judicial review which will cost a fortune.
The sad thing is that there's no other organisation who have the money to take them to court on their other silly decisions eg improved road mapping around the area.
One concern I do have, given the hit on the council's budgets, due to covid, will the park and ride station even be built?
So, Tier 3 it is then. That will now kill off any unnecessary travel into and out of the region, so I doubt that we will see too much activity now over the long hard winter. May as well get the green light for the terminal now and get the diggers in while it is quiet.
Too many doom mongers on this site think positive you have at least a month to think about itVery apt LBAYORKIE. With LBA being so reliant on Jet2 I also fear for the future of the airport and, to a lesser extent, for Jet2. I say for a lesser extent based only on the fact that they can juggle their operations to suit whatever market is there with the choice of expanding or even moving bases to suit their business. LBA can't move however and are subject to local passenger needs and of course the whims of local Councillors which, as it stands today, is not very promising for them.
I trust I am wrong on this but the picture going forward isn't rosy by any means.
I really hope so WH but look what happened to the green carbon charge if you entered from outer ring road ...money allocated from Government and West Yorks Combined Authority and cameras installed etc and its bizarrely just been abandoned.As I recall, the money for the Parkway Station is not Leeds money, it's West Yorkshire Combined Authority dealing with it, and the money was ring fenced for transport schemes. I think it was a condition set by Government when they rejected schemes such as the Leeds tram & Trolleybus, but allowed the funding to be kept.
