Alderney runway refurbishment plan to ensure airport safety
Alderney's government has renewed hopes of refurbishing the island's States said two "fully costed and technically sound" proposals had been put forward to the States Trading Supervisory Board (STSB).Officials said the proposals prioritised "urgent" work to the runway, taxiway and apron infrastructure to ensure the airport remained "safe and operational".Chair of the General Services Committee Iain Macfarlane said the goal was to demonstrate a "viable, cost-effective and deliverable" solution. 'Years of uncertainty' He said: "We've done exactly that. We've drawn a line under the years of uncertainty and turned the conversation back to action."We now hope for an expedited route forward, building on the diligent work of our members and officers. "We're keen to hear the views of STSB and Ports, and we hope they are ready to progress delivery."The States said the proposals had been drafted to meet all necessary technical standards, grounded in prior contractor involvement and site knowledge. It said it recognised "increasing pressures on the public purse" for Alderney and Guernsey."We therefore remain committed to being part of the solution to wider Bailiwick challenges by working collaboratively with our colleagues in the States of Guernsey to the benefit of the Bailiwick taxpayer," it added upgrades to the terminal and control tower could be addressed following completion of the "critical phase".
