Cardiff Airport on 13:38 - May 5 by ReslovenSwan1 | I am not an account xpert in petrochemicals but these sort of works in my opinion should be e not located in residential areas like they are in Barry. Id not know the details of the risk to human health but w they do seem to have towers pushing out effluents. Hopefully is in only steam. Doe are owners of Union Carbide who you nay have heard of. I need to research it more. Ineos would not be like this and would have been located on an out of town industrial estate. |
I'd be very surprised if the very efficient planning officers of Barry and officials of the Health & Safety Executive were amiss in carrying out their duties in not ensuring that any effluent which may be emitted from the stacks within the plant were within any acceptable levels.Im surprised that you hadn't raised your concerns before now , or had you. |  |

Good thing for Cardiff. For the rest of Wales it's yet more money pissed away. |  |

Another very parochial post. The only thing Cardiff about Rhoose airport is its name. It is about 45 mins from Swansea and 30 mins from Cardiff. It takes at least 1 hours off travel times to Bristol all things being equal. |  |

Officially it is seen as a benefit not a burden. The base line figures are negative but not greatly cost each Welsh tax payer £6 a year. ( Over ten years including purchase price) Public documents says this. "The airport generates over £200 million in Gross Value Added (GVA) annually and directly and indirectly supports thousands of jobs in the South Wales region. It facilitates over 4,000 aviation-related jobs in the Vale of Glamorgan, ensuring safe and secure airport operations. Cardiff Airport is a major driver of economic activity, particularly in the South Wales region, with a significant impact on local economies." The Bryn Glas traffic flow problems is more of a problem for Bristol airport than Cardiff Airport as this affects 2m passengers going east.If they fly from Cardiff they are unaffected.

Imagine if you were subsidising the airport and living in North Wales and had your infrastructure cancelled due to funding, no wonder they are peed off. |  | |  |

Imagine being North English and the the great North South modern high speed link HS2 stops at Birmingham. Why? Because they ran out l of money building unnecessary tunnels to keep southern Nimbys a happy. Guess what the Nimby stopped the HS1- HS2 links as well which would have given a direct link to Europe. North Wales gas a fast link to Manchester with the A55. |  |

People pay for things they do not use. I pay for the Monarchy and see it as a load or wasteful baloney. The Monarchy owns my coast so gets the wind farm fees. I did not go to the London Olympics or use Cross rail. HS2 compensation was ruled out for Wales so I paid for that as well. There was a flight from Valley to CWL for a few years. |  |

You don't use schools either, maybe we should close those? I agree though, CWL is a massive burden and the proposed subsidy which, in the words of the report, Lawyers working on behalf of Bristol Airport have written to the Welsh Government about Cardiff Airport. They are demanding for more information on their £205 million subsidy for Cardiff Airport. Last week it was revealed that the cost to households in Wales for the state funding of Cardiff Airport since nationalisation is set to increase to £286 per household. In a scathing letter to Welsh Government Minister Rebecca Evans MS, Bristol Airport highlighted how the proposed subsidy would exceed Cardiff Airport's current annual turnover, in each year of the planned 10-year duration and comes on top of the nearly £200m of taxpayers’ money already provided to Cardiff Airport. Excerpt taken from Walesonline, full story at the following address, walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/bristol-airport-issues-demand-wales-31630064?int_source=nba So a subsidy bigger than the airports turnover, whyexactly? Why does the Senedd leave the true subsidy size out of the official statement. The Senedd ignores the CMA who say, despite the Competition and Markets Authority highlighting considerable issues, including "unevidenced assumptions". (again taken from WoL) The Senedd is obfuscating if not outright lying, why? How many NHS staff , police or teachers would this 200 million pay for? |  | |  |

You can blame successive governments for hanging onto the Crown estates including this one , despite what local councils want it seems that even the 27 Welsh MPs who voted against the motion would it rather be kept under the control of Westminster . |  |

It depends if what the Senedd is doing is within the rules and regulations. This is why they are asking for clarity which up until now the Senedd have not provided. They will have to provide the details asked for, it just depends if they do it willingly or are forced. |  | |  |

Ummm NO, the Senedd are answerable to the laws of the Uk. They cannot break the laws. There are competition rules in place and the Senedd are most likely obfuscating because they are breaking those rules which is why they have been asked for clarity. Even governments are answerable and the Senedd are also answerable to Westminster. You do understand rules and laws and how politicians must stick to them and not lie? |  | |  |

If the Sennedd do try subsidise the Airport to the tune of £205 million of our money, Bristol have already said there will be a legal challenge. Yet more tax payers wasted |  |

I said they ARE answerable to others and then asked why are they obfuscating? if they have done nothing wrong, why are they hiding stuff? The Senedd has been referreed to the CMA so we will find out, www.gov.uk/cma-cases/referral-of-the-proposed-subsidy-to-cardiff-international-airport-limited-by-the-welsh-government I'm sure it won't surprise you to find out that politicians lie, cheat and break rules and laws far too often. |  | |  |
