No, as regards the roads it’s not premptive – it’s all a done deal.
The government announced in November that it was putting money into the A-46 dualling then the Enquiry Inspector announced in December that (bar some twiddling around the edges) the plans for dualling the road had been approved. The Parliamentary orders were published at the end of January and we received letters through from the Highways Agency telling us we had 30 days from publication to object. That date has come and gone and if you go down the A46 past Saxondale they had cleared all the hedging by a week ago Friday. Near East Bridgford has taken a little longer.
Newton is still under discussion but somehow I think it is also a done deal especially given that Crown Estates own the farm land between E/B and Bingham. You can’t sell houses in the area but they want to build another 6-10,000. Strikes me as being utterly utterly stupid.
Anyway, getting back to the aviation theme, if Newton does get the go-ahead then that will probably put an end to the use of it for aerobatic pilots practicising their displays ove it. Very sad.
