MP pushing for a speedy sale of former RAF base

LINCOLN MP Hamish Falconer has pushed for a speedy sale of RAF Scampton, saying there are several interested parties.

The former airbase is being sold by the Home Office, with West Lindsey District Council keen to enact its vision to bring £300m worth of regeneration to the area.

There has been frustration from local campaigners at the delays, with the site in limbo since the government abandoned plans to house asylum seekers there nine months ago.

The proposed development with Scampton Holdings aims to make the site a key player in aerospace, satellite and defence technology.

The Home Office is currently valuing the site, but hasn't openly marketed it yet.
