We are grateful for the publicity in the @DailyMailUK last night and would like to reiterate, we know RAF Scampton is closing and the MOD no longer wishes to fund it, our aim is to purchase it, preserve it as a living working museum and charitable trust. See details below.

What is going on here? Something funny. When it was decided to sell the first rule of thumb is that the local council get first refusal so #SaveScampton never got a look in. @WestLindseyDC did a deal with Scampton Holdings, which wasn't fair anyway, now this! @peter_levy
It's madness that the Home Office are putting Scampton on the open market when we have a funded regeneration plan ready to go. They're just trying to cover their tracks because they wasted £64 million and three years trying to house migrants there. https://t.co/vw11zVHunx

We shall follow the development of the site in the future and see if it really does get a good rejuvenation or end up mostly with housing development!
What about the £60M spent so far, that could have been used to convert it into a historic site of importance and as living working museum instead of being sold off no doubt for a pittance for commercial use.

What a pity you and others were not willing to support the original @SaveScampton campaign which wanted to turn it into a heritage not for profit site purely a historic living working one ...
I’ve done as I promised. From the day the Conservative govt announced their intentions for Scampton, I’ve fought their disastrous scheme. Excellent news for Lincoln and Lincolnshire today. Please watch 👇

We have written to @EdwardLeighGB asking how much money has already been spent on a site that could have be retained in the first place, and which contractors have benefitted from this...
Remember when we started our campaign to stop them closing RAF Scampton and to retain the site purely as a living working museum only!

Ed Miliband has approved a number of mass-scale solar panels on UK farmland despite huge local community objections. Solar panels shouldn’t be used on fields that are cultivated for our food growing. Instead, put them on brownfields, car parks, roofs and roads.
