NEWQUAY AIRPORT "VITAL LINK FOR CORNWALL" SAYS GILBERT

May 16, 2007 9:00 AM

Newquay AirportStephen Gilbert said: "Newquay airport is a vital link for Cornwall. It is as important to Cornwall's business community as the dualling of the A30 or broadband access, and is a bridge for much needed investment bringing jobs to the county."

This week the first passenger flight left Cornwall's Newquay Airport destined for Zurich, Switzerland.

Stephen added: "I fully support plans to expand the airport and believe that carbon emissions need to be looked at in the context of total UK emissions and the very good environmental work that takes place across Cornwall.

"In our fight against climate change we must not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Newquay airport is a vital part of building a prosperous future for Cornwall."

    If you are a resident of the St Austell and Newquay constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
