Should Doncaster Sheffield Airport reopen?

Transcript

00:00 cynical we could give them for thinking that Peel really wanted to develop the land and the only way

00:05 that they would have got the council for other uses maybe given the proximity to the M18, the

00:11 port network on that east coast, lots of incoming so you would have thought they might have wanted

00:16 to develop that into a warehouse in RDC, something to do with cars for example, we'd get all the

00:21 stuff coming in from Germany and again the airport was just a sop really to get some building and

00:27 some infrastructure in and then to do that which is what I personally, what a lot of people think

00:32 they'd do so yeah I think they should and I think they could have probably offloaded that to someone

00:37 like Ryanair who could have a real Midlands hub for their business instead of relying on the heavy

00:41 slot fees charged at East Midlands, Manchester and so on so maybe there could have been something

00:47 along those lines but yeah without question we cut off I think with the largest city what in

00:52 Europe without an airport is bonkers. It's dependent on money I guess but yeah as far as

00:59 me personally is concerned as someone from Sheffield I think it's quite important or very

01:05 important really that there's an airport, an international type airport close by that people

01:13 from, because obviously Sheffield's a big city and the surrounding areas Barnsley, Rotherham,

01:20 wherever in South Yorkshire it'd be great to get that up and running again and fingers crossed

01:25 they will do that.
