Today I asked this question of @PennyMordaunt MP the Leader of the House of Commons in Parliament:

“The Prime Minister yesterday agreed with the Father of the House that local authorities should be allowed ….

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 1/5
….to protect what matters most to them and that applies as much to @DSA_Airport as it does to green belt.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport has planning consent for use as an airport……

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 2/5
….,Does the Leader agree with me that Owners like Peel Holdings should not be allowed to use that land for anything else.”

I was pleased to hear @PennyMordaunt say that if there is anything she can do to assist me in securing….

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 3/5
….a good outcome for the airport then she will.

It is clear to me that the land the @DSA_Airport sits on must only ever be allowed to be used for an airport. No warehouses. No houses. No to anything else unless it is an airport.

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 4/5
If the planning law needs tightening up then let’s do so. We must protect our Airport. @DSA_Airport.

AIRPORT CRISIS - DAY 59

Being back in Parliament has been really helpful in our campaign to Keep @DSA_Airport open. This is a long post but one with reason for real hope and optimism.

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 1/12 Image
It’s given me the opportunity to meet again with the Aviation Minister @robertcourts and discuss the situation with him. I’ve been hoping that Robert is not moved in any reshuffle and to date it looks that he will remain in post.

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 2/12 Image
.@robertcourts has been really helpful to date & has really impressed me with his attention to detail and his motivation to work with @olivercoppard to keep @DSA_Airport open.

On Wednesday it was PMQs and I was able to speak in the Chamber.

AIRPORT CRISIS - DAY 57

It’s been a whirlwind day here in Parliament. We have a new PM now the Queen has invited @trussliz to form a government. A cabinet reshuffle is taking place.

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 1/14
My job in Parliament is to promote Doncaster so I have made it my mission to get to know as many MPs as I can. So I’m confident that our City & @DSA_Airport is known to every Cabinet appointee.

🧵 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 2/14
This is particularly helpful in times of need. @DSA_Airport is in that category. I have written to our new PM on that front.

I have asked her to meet with or write to @olivercoppard to remind him he has devolved powers and he can and should use them to save DSA

AIRPORT CRISIS - DAY 33

So where are we this Sunday & what’s the ask?

2 working groups have been set up by @olivercoppard . A 3rd working group has now started, which will next week look at a further way forward. Extremely late in the day but still good.

#SaveDSA 🧵1/10
I have a meeting with John Whittaker agreed in principle. I need to get this meeting fixed & brought forward. I will try.

@TUI are happy to operate from @DSA_Airport which is as busy as ever taking flights from other airports that cannot cope.

#SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat 🧵2/10
.@DSA_Airport is a very busy airport at this moment which shows it’s potential and capability.

This is all good.
