Rochester

Post by Ridders »

Hi all,
I'm conscious that this may not be the best place to post this on these forums but I do see a lot of wonderful photographs from rochester posted here and so I think rochester need all the help they can get from those that use the airport. Taken from another forum:

At long last after 15 years it looks like the light at the end of the tunnel has finally come into view for Rochester Airport.

The operating company (Rochester Airport Ltd) who were awarded a 25yr lease earlier in the year with the proviso that they make a planning application and develop the airfield with hard runway and new buildings has finally been made.

They are seeking supportive comments as there is still a well organised "anti" brigade - who have already started making objectionable comments because they were expecting the plan to be called in on Environmental grounds and it wasnt.


So have a look here for the story

and if you can spare a few mins to send an email to :

planning.representations@medway.gov.uk
quoting MC/14/2914
saying how wonderful this is, then it will help smooth the process and help save another airfield from going under.

there is some more information here

please help, or this could be the final chapter of yet another airfield., this one that has been there since the 1930's.
Ridders.
