'Liz Truss said she would protect the airport. Now is the moment to turn those words into action.'
He said everything had been done to “find a path forward”, identifying market interest and bringing potential investors to the table.
In a damning statement, Mayor Coppard said Peel was “never serious about finding an alternative and safeguarding the future” of the airport. His full statement released following the announcement reads:"I’m devastated by today’s announcement by Peel and angry about the impact it will have on our communities. Most importantly, there are hundreds of people across Doncaster and"For years, we have been investing public money in and around DSA to support the airport, including providing emergency funding through the pandemic.
"The fact that they chose to turn our offer down simply confirms what many of us suspected: that Peel was never serious about finding an alternative and safeguarding the future of DSA. It is still not too late for them to do the right thing; for them to reconsider their decision for the sake of those employees, businesses and communities directly impacted by this appalling decision.
“Despite everything, I am proud of how our community has come together over the past few months in our efforts to protect the future of the airport. I remain steadfast in my commitment to an ambitious plan for Doncaster and South Yorkshire, and those impacted by Peel’s decision today will be at the forefront of my efforts."
