“I will carry on working with my team tonight, tomorrow and over the coming days and weeks to maintain pressure on Peel to do the right thing.'
“As they know full well, a deal of this complexity takes time and we need as much time and space as possible to not simply bring the current bidders to the table, but potentially others too. As we have said before, you would be pushed to sell your house in ten weeks let alone an airport.
“I will carry on working with my team tonight, tomorrow and over the coming days and weeks to maintain pressure on Peel to do the right thing. But the honest truth is that if they refuse to cooperate and national Government won’t use emergency powers to force their hand, we are reaching the limit of what we can do in the region before operations cease in November. I’m sorry this isn’t a more upbeat message.
Nick Fletcher MP, added: “Peel are not budging. No to the 13 month offer. No to anything else unless a credible buyer is put before them in the next few days. So it seems we only have 72 hours. Maybe we have more time. I don’t know. Every day that passes the less chance we have. I can’t give in. It’s too important. If I’m the last man standing then that’s what it will be. I can’t give in while we have a chance.. I’m told he’s speaking to Peel tomorrow.
On the other side, Coppard has accused Fletcher of failing to hold the government to account and make them act to save the airport.
