Business group slam road scheme delay
07.08.09
Local business leaders have hit out at the planning system that they believe is bogging down plans for a new road between Robin Hood Airport and the M18. The town’s Chamber of Commerce says the planning system needs overhauling to ensure the route goes ahead as soon as possible.
They say completion of the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme (FARRRS) is key to delivering £1bn of investment and 14,000 jobs, as well as the success of the airport. The Chamber believe speedy construction of the road would make the airport significantly more attractive to airlines, and reignite interest in economic development around Doncaster, including the airport’s business park.
Chamber chief executive Stephen Shore said: ‘In all, FARRRS could help contribute to the delivery of £1bn of investment and over 14,000 jobs by 2030 to the airport region. Yet the planning process could lay down sufficient obstacles to heavily delay or even halt the scheme.’
