Full text:

The increase in land and air traffic, noise pollution and dubious promise of increased employment and revenue, raise grave doubts as to the depth of true investigation which may have taken place. This "opportunity to comment" is a fig leaf for counsellors who wish to be associated with a "grand" development and associated phot opportunities. Increasing fuel costs are highly likely to give rise to strenuous discouragement of unnecessary travel in the near future and placed as we are in an awkward corner of the country are likely to be sacrificed early on. Vote no, for what it's worth.
