Doncaster Airport has been saved following a campaign by unions, workers and politicians.
The facility had been in doubt after Reform-led Doncaster Council broke its promise to provide a £57 million loan for upgrades the airport.
But at a council meeting today [Monday], the councillors approved the loan after all.
Sarah Barnes, GMB Organiser, said:
“It’s a massive relief - both personally and for everyone South Yorkshire - that the airport project hasn’t been killed.
“Thanks to pressure from workers, unions and politicians, Reform has executed a screeching U-turn and will no longer cancel the £57 million loan.
“This is a huge victory for the people of Doncaster.”
