Today the property developer Vistry served three months notice on the occupiers of Nottingham City Airport.
While we are horrified at this pre-emptive action (folks, Vistry haven’t even applied for planning permission yet – they can’t, the local plan hasn’t even been approved yet!) we see this as the first shot in a battle that is only a part of the overall war.
We will be organising various functions at a number of locations to express our horror at this spiteful action which seems to be aimed at throwing more than 60 people out of work and closing down businesses, not to mention threatening the airfield as am operational location for the air ambulance.
Vistry have miscalculated the strength of feeling against this development, and have seriously misjudged the support for Nottingham City Airport.
