Read ANTHONY HEMAN's letter in "have your say" It's incredible that such huge sums of money are quoted for airports when other places in this world do it for much much lower prices. Seems to me a big !rip off' somewhere. With these amateur politicians that Guernsey has it seems that; they quote a price, then double it, then pass it on; once all departments have had their say, it rises to these astronomical Quotes I hope that very soon these politicians are kicked out and some kind of intelligence is restored to our welfare. People ask why C.Parkinson and ¨Falla left or will leave; I say again they have seen the light Guernsey people are coming out of their long sleep- just like Rip Van Winkle. Let the theme of of those Islanders who rejected those plans now sally forth to every household. It's our Island and we, and we alone should say where and when monies are spent. GO FOR IT PEOPLE You've started the ball rolling. Well done ratepayers;

Read ANTHONY HEMAN’s letter in “have your say”

It’s incredible that such huge sums of money are quoted for airports when other places in this world do it for much much lower prices.

Seems to me a big !rip off’ somewhere.

In an ever more competitive world,the island needs to promote itself, and having a runway which is not capable of handling the workhorse of the skies the Boeing 737 will indicate to others that we are not serious about business, and the winner will of course be Jersey which has had the capability to handle such aircraft since the mid 70's. Get real get a runway and prove we are a serious juristiction. Regarding the runway, I fear we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
