Leeds Bradford: General Airport Discussion & Updates

[Wardair166]

Whoever presents must stress that this is a MODERNISATION application and not an EXPANSION application. Anyone rejecting this application is effectively supporting a far less green terminal facility!

 

[752]

I think its a very good idea, no point us supporters going to all this effort in petitions etc for then for nobody to be there giving our support argument

 

[White Heather]

Well you have to notify the council in advance if you wish to speak - in total only 12 minutes is allowed from all supporters of the application. Surely we have someone on here who is Zoom capable and passionate enough to speak well and concisely to support this? The Support Group is all of us - it doesn't have to be me, LBASpotter or Aviador.

It won't be me speaking however - my blood pressure won't tolerate it these days and I am not Zoom capable either. I won't even watch this meeting on medical grounds!

 

[lbaspotter]

Have to count myself out too, as I'm already booked in to work a 14:00-22:00 shift that afternoon sadly.

I'm really hoping somebody from forums4airports can/will be able to represent LBA support Group & the views of all those whom support this project

PS: If you don't wont to post publicly on here, please feel free to either contact myself, @lbaspotter @White Heather or @Aviador via private messaging.

RIP Captain Sir Tom Moore.😢

😢A true patriot to the very end.

Chief planning officer recommends approval - report now on website

 

[White Heather]

Great. So, anyone fancy stepping up and speaking in favour on the 11th who is Zoom capable?
As we saw at Bristol, this is good news, but means nothing knowing who is on the Plans Panel .

 

[Seasider]

I'd love to represent the group but do not have the technical "knowhow" or hardware for Zoom meetings,

 

[Heathrowflyer]

Would love to but due to association with a business partner, sadly, I can't.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Unfortunately I have to count myself out as well due to a speech impediment that I have had since a child. I'm afraid that public speaking is not my forte. Life can be very strange as I earned my living as a corporate travel consultant which meant being on the telephone all day long, but I'm afraid that since I entered retirement the damned thing has raised it's ugly head again - I dread having to make a speech at my daughter's wedding later this year!

 

[Finger66]

Whilst I am fully conversant with Zoom, Work committment will prevent me from assisting here

 

[Len Fish]

Public speaking is my worst nightmare I’m afraid but I don’t actually see a brief appearance over Zoom at the meeting having any real influence on the outcome at this late stage.

Joe Cooper has had his article published in the Yorkshire Evening Post, we were asked for our opinion on the chief planning officers report.

Thanks go to @Aviador for getting the statement out quickly as he did on a Friday.

Pro Leeds Bradford Airport campaigners welcome council report backing expansion

Campaigners in favour of a planned £150m terminal building at Leeds Braford Airport have welcomed a Leeds City Council report backing the proposal.

Did everyone who commented on the proposal get an invitation to contribute via zoom, or was it selected people?

 

[White Heather]

Everyone. It was included in the council email saying when the panel would meet and that should go to all who commented. So some of the opponent's might get about 10 emails!!

 

[LBAYORKIE]

OK, I was .oozing to see how the zoom sessions worked if they were 2 way conversations but I assume its just a couple of minutes during which parties tell it the way they see it with no back and forth.

The YEP's big brother Yorkshire's National Newspaper "Yorkshire Post" has also now published the Pro Airport expansion article by Joe Cooper.
