This is only to find out if it is possible or even viable to buy it.
I am sure plenty people from the industry could answer that question for a lot less money.

Absolute waste of money. Did anyone vote for this SYMCA? I don't remember being asked. Bring back Transport Executive.

As SY votes for a mayor they I assume they did vote for it.

Row erupts between Tory MP for Don Valley Nick Fletcher and SYMCA Mayor Oliver Coppard over HS2 funds for Network North.

Nick Fletcher has claimed that the redirected funds from HS2 will all be used for Sheffield Supertrams and he says it should all be used for DSA.

Coppard says the funds are not due until 2027 if at all and it would be government who decides where it's spent.

Fletcher says the airport is more important to SY economy and should take priority.

If the region gets it's fair share of the 'savings' based on what would have been spent, there will be more than enough to buy the airport and extend the Supertram all the way to it, after having renewed and further extended the network. And still have plenty left over for other parts of the region.

But we all know there are no savings and the money they are promising is unlikely to be spent in any great amounts on anything other than road.

How many years airport losses do you propose should be covered? Most industry experts who predicted it would fail in the first place are adamant that it will never work.
