Lincolnshire County Council is supporting businesses around Doncaster Airport following its closure, while trying to re-route supply lines into the county.
Councillors were told efforts were being made by officers during an update on the work of the authority’s Team Lincolnshire project, which aims to encourage more investment into the region. He questioned whether the closure would impact the work of Team Lincolnshire and whether LCC was working to push for a potential takeover of the airport, so that it could reopen.
Looking ahead, it was focusing on things like agri-food, the East Midlands Airport and Humber Freeport and support of the defence sector.However, Councillor Ashley Baxter feared the defence sector aims could be used “as a euphemism for arms exports” and asked if there was any examination of the “ethics of sales” within the county.
Chairman Councillor Ian Carrington acknowledged the defence industries “raise moral questions and we are very much aware of that”.
