“Our vision is…for Daedalus to become a premier location for aviation, aerospace engineering and advanced manufacturing businesses, creating many skilled employment opportunities for local people, which is under-pinned by a vibrant and sustainable airfield.”
That’s the opening statement in Fareham Borough Council’s Vision document for Daedalus Airfield which is now open for consultation (link below).
Confirming Fareham’s wholehearted support for the airfield, Councillor Sean Woodward, Executive Leader of Fareham Borough Council, said, “Daedalus airfield is a vital asset to our community and it is important to ensure that we make the most of it in a way that serves the present and future needs of both businesses and residents.
“I would encourage people to comment online and to come along to the exhibition and Special CAT meeting to find out more. We will take into account your comments and make any changes to the vision needed before publishing the final version in the autumn.”
Fareham Borough Council (FBC) is encouraging people to have their say until 23 September. The draft vision includes:
* Objectives for the site a
* Types of development and businesses FBC would like to see in Daedalus
There will be an exhibition to view FBC’s plans and talk to council officers on Thursday 3 September between 1pm and 7pm. This will be followed the same evening by a Special Community Action Team (CAT) meeting running from 7pm until 8:30pm. Both events will be held at Holy Rood Church, Gosport Road, Stubbington.
