Blackpool Airport.

They have demolished the old Pontins site at the Western end of the airport and are now building houses on it, is this a sign of things to come ?

I've said this for a long time. Giving a construction company a stake in an airport, was never going to bode well. look at all that space. Now the oldest airport in the country(so I've been told), is going to the dogs.

You're right. I bet the houses will be horrible too.

Evening Benedict and welcome to the forum, they have already built about a hundred on the Pontin's site. The airport is still functioning but it is not as busy now.
