Proposal for All weather runway and 25yr lease at Rochester

A proposal / press release by Medway Council at Rochester Airport this morning carries a hope that the Airport's future is secure.

Some suggest this is not going to be feasible, and that it is a scheme to get one runway closed and developed for industry.

A leaflet with some more information is here.

This sounds good news but after all that has been said in the past, I am not sure Medway Council can be taken at face value.
