Leeds Bradford Airport £100m Regeneration Programme

[Len Fish]

Wonder if our wonderful Lord Mayor Ms. Breadbin will ceremoniously dig the first sod to mark the start of the project and to show her support for our expanding airport bringing jobs and prosperity to West Yorkshire. Think we all know the answer to that one! Has she ever shown a glimmer of support for LBA?

 

[ls27]

She is not a LORD Mayor! Nor a LADY Mayor either.

 

[Finger66]

She is the sod, never mind digging up the first one!

Strictly speaking its already happened back in April 2019.

Construction work begins on terminal extension at Leeds Bradford Airport - Passenger Terminal Today

Work has begun on an extension to the main airport terminal building at Leeds Bradford Airport, UK, providing larger immigration and baggage reclaim areas, improved departure gate facilities, and more

It's hard to imagine she's even been to LBA and the only interest she's ever shown publicly was to say she was disappointed the new terminal has been canned, despite failing miserably to support it - she instead just rolled over and stayed quiet rather than contradict the pathetic famous five Labour MPs who opposed it.

I can't see her turning a sod at LBA and getting into bother with the anti airport MPs, all of whom , as we predicted, now look stupid, facing the same growth but in a far less sustainable terminal.

She is the ROOT Of the problem!

 

[Finger66]

Can we TURF her out I wonder!

 

[ls27]

Nay lad, we can try, but we will be voting for someone else's hand picked candidate

Are we expecting a ground breaking ceremony in next few days?

As I've just passed the airport and noticed the is a extra Yellow cabin and a JCB type excavator now on site.

Ground works are taking place around the site setting up what is now the contractor compound.

I past the airport today and had a good look. Work has definitely commenced with ground work taking place and the embankment to the ramp being remodeled.

Work coming along nicely up at LBA.

Great to see that the airport’s opponents chickens have come home to roost to haunt them, their folly of opposing the previous new terminal plans being cruelly exposed.

What's happening now, is exactly what we told them would happen, but they were in denial at the time, claiming the airport couldn't go ahead with this extension.
They who shall not be named are not very good at planning issues. They'll find that out again over their claims of a 5m planning limit in passengers. And quite possibly again regards the CLEUDs which seem to be LBAs response to them sticking their nose in.

That`s the problem with people who are driven by self interest and or ideology. If they were more objective they would`nt lose as often.

Looks like the contractors are just preparing their compound at the moment.

 

[Finger66]

Probably not much they will do before the usual construction industry mega festive shutdown. Hopefully we notice real changes in the NY

Exactly so. See Consultative Committee update.

There are a couple of images I've mist off which show more of the internal layout of the old parts of the terminal. I'll add them later today.
