IF RECENT debates are any guide, States members resolved the multi-million pound airport project with remarkable speed – and with much resolve.

PLANNING permission and potential legal action will be the next hurdles for Guernsey’s £80m. airport project after the States gave it the go-ahead yesterday.

PUBLIC SERVICES is to be urged to release a consultant’s report looking at ways to transport materials to the airport runway project, because it apparently validates the idea of using Petit Bot as a temporary harbour.
