    I believe Doncasted council have guaranteed massive finance for the reopening of the airport,
    Last week the Doncaster Mayor voted along with other council leaders in South Yorkshire to approve funding of almost £160m to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport and bring passenger flights back to the region
    I find it quite amusing for a Labour council to be going against Milliband and his net zero mission.

    I think it is South Yorkshire Mayor so it is funding that is coming from the transport and regeneration fund so takes cash away from roads, rail , cycle lanes etc. West Yorkshire are going for trams instead which bits of Sourh Yorkshire already have.

    From what I saw yesterday though Leeds/Bradford airport are looking into if it is a subsidy so could be classed as anti competitive
