NEWQUAY AIRPORT CLOSURE

November 26, 2008 12:00 PM

Newquay AirportStephen Gilbert, the Liberal Democrat Prospective MP for Newquay, said: "Any closure at the airport, however temporary, will cause many people difficulties as they look to sort out Christmas travel plans and it is, frankly, an added problem that Cornish businesses who rely on the airport just don't need right now."

"It's outrageous that the Government won't let the RAF staff stay-on in Newquay for just the next couple of weeks."

"Questions must be asked about why the airport wasn't ready in time, but the priority must be to get normal services running as quickly as possible."

    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.
