Leeds Bradford - General Thread

I noticed that too when I was there last Wednesday night. It’s probably to block access to the hill to 4x4s

I was up there yesterday taking a couple of photos and got blocked in by a Leeds City Council tipper. Speaking to the guys the council are doing it to try and stop the 4x4 guys wrecking the place.

About time.

I spoke to a guy at the council regarding the footpath around the airport perimeter been like a bog and they are looking at the issue as they say part of the problem is drainage from the golf course causing all the water, they have to keep public footpaths accessible so hopefully they will do something, I did suggest a load of hardcore

 

[JRP]

Hopefully the link works

Be good if as many forum members could fill this in regarding the footpath around the airfield, stating it’s pretty much impassable due the mud etc, the more reports the council.get the more chance we have to get them to look after if for us all to see the planes, only takes less than 5 mins to fill in

Thanks

Some very strange people around. I think bar staff have a duty not to serve people if they are drunk.

The news of flights to Egypt is as nothing compared to the budget bombshell that airports are to have their rates bill doubled. If the airport is to survive I think we will see hikes in all charges, including drop off and parking.

Yes that is nuts. Alongside APD increases.

You’d think they would learn from the Germans who have had to reverse their tax increases, as passenger numbers have not recovered since 2019. The reversal stated it would make them more competitive. Growth seems to be something the UK government cannot get its head around in any capacity.

I cant understand why they are having a community event for Meanwood as its under no flight paths and aircraft overhead is a rare sight. What they do have are are invariably light aircraft. There is very little impact, and if Meanwood gets one then why not Moortown, Calverley, and anywhere else that's even within earshot of an aircraft. Given the founder of G****A lives on the Meanwood side of Far Headingley, there's little doubt that once again it will be invaded by hysterical anti airport folk who don't even live in Meanwood.

All the more reason for those on here to ensure they book tickets.

Problem solved x2 tickets booked for the baildon event, myself and my mother who's keen to attend as well. Perhaps those that shall not be named were sabotaging the online booking process
