Davy51 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Following today's announcement it will be interesting to see the reaction from Manchester City Council considering the objections that were sent in the direction of Warrington regarding the Omega Development. I anticipate not a whisper ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 There was a report about this on BBC NORTHWEST news today about turning land near the airport into another business park ,i think 20,000 (?) jobs were mentioned.

Dizzy Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks Isn't it better to turn land into business parks and to create job opportunities rather than just sell it off and allow more of the endless stream of ugly, crammed in, cramped, cheap tat box houses and appartments like Warrington seems to getting everywhere. I doubt they could build houses that close to the airport though eh so the alternative would be ??? I think I am getting what you mean though. Did Manchester CC object to Warrington's Omega development ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The intent is to entice overseas Companies to set up around the Airport. However, the tendency of private enterprise is to gravitate to economic hubs; be it the S/E of England or the Brussels triangle. The question is imo, will these be 20,000 "new" jobs or 20,000 jobs displaced from elsewhere in the N/West; and indeed, will it actually amount to 20,000 jobs anyway?

silverlady54 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Mention was made of the Chinese in particular as they are hoping to have direct flights to China from the airport. As has been said, probably firms would relocate from other areas in the North West for good access to the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
