Sir Patrick Cormack, Member of Parliament for South Staffordshire, in whose constituency the Wolverhampton Business Airport is situated, today expressed his strong opposition to the Airport's plans for massive expansion.

Sir Patrick said “I read that the owners of Wolverhampton Business Airport wish to employ a thousand people and to service vast numbers of passengers. Whilst I can understand their desire to expand their business I have to say to them that Bobbington, in the heart of one of the most beautiful parts of Staffordshire, is not a suitable place for this sort of development. What they have in mind would totally destroy this lovely and peaceful part of our County. The country lanes would have to become major roads. The noise of the planes would shatter the rural peace. This is just not on and I am implacably opposed to development on this scale”.
