Coventry Airport

They will do it.

Whilst we're talking about the profile of protesters from the mid-90s, I guess we should acknowledge that, very sadly, the protests led to a death, didn't it, of Jill Phipps, who was an animal rights activist in different areas, and she got crushed under a lorry at a protest at Coventry Airport.

You describe this in the book, a number of the furry companies had pulled out of the trade because of public protest, but a number of farmers got together and created a company and started chartering airlines to transport field cars to the continent from Coventry Airport, which is why there was a protester and Jill very sadly lost her life as a result with her funeral in Coventry Cathedral, because so many people wanted to be there, was present.

And I think Benjamin Zephaniah A famous British poet who died a couple of years ago dedicated a poem to her.

So, you know, that was obviously a very, very sad incident, which is still remembered by people three decades on.

Coventry City Council is to spend up to £1 million on a new plan to redevelop the former Coventry airport site to allow a wider range of businesses to move in.

The Authority's Cabinet approved the additional funding for the new Green Power Park planning application at a meeting on Tuesday.

The Council said that, while a proposed Gigafactory was still part of the scheme, it wanted to open up the land to other possible advanced manufacturing occupiers.

Its contribution will comprise half of the money needed for planning, technical, environmental, legal and commercial work, with the remainder coming from Green Power Park Ltd., formerly Coventry Airport Ltd., The council, which holds the freehold of the 125 hectare site, says the cost of the new plan would be clawed back through the sale of land to businesses.

The airport closed permanently in June after 90 years, with its final flight landing the previous month.

Green Power Park planning work has so far cost just over £6 million.

including £2.25 million from Coventry City Council, matched by the same amount from Coventry Airport Limited.
