Doncaster Sheffield Airport: Protest to be held ahead of crucial meeting
A city centre demonstration has been called ahead of a crucial meeting on funding for Doncaster Sheffield Airport
A city centre demonstration has been called ahead of a crucial meeting on funding for Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
Protesters are being urged to gather outside the Civic Offices in Sir Nigel Gresley Square on May 11 - the date an extraordinary meeting has been called by Reform UK to take a fresh vote on a £57 million loan to fund the re-opening of DSA.
Councillors previously agreed to the deal in November, but Reform UK say they now want to take a fresh look at the deal and say there is “no blank cheque” for re-opening the airport.
Labour and Doncaster mayor Ros Jones have said that if the funding doesn’t go ahead, it will “kill” the project.
The TUC and GMB have organised the protest rally.
It comes after a similar demo outside the airport earlier this week.
Save DSA campaigner Mark Chadwick said: “Let;s all show a united front.
“Forget whatever politics we as individuals support. Let’s have an airport.”
