Niel, having collected a few sheets for the petition in favour of Swansea Airport, I can tell you that very many people from Dunvant and Three Crosses signed. We left a couple of sheets at the Gower Golf course and they were quickly filled out mainly by residents of 3XXX.
I spent about 1 1/2 hrs in the Killay precinct last Sat morning; I found that aprox 85 - 90 % of people are in favour of the airport, many of them from Dunvant and Upper Killay.
Many, many were asking to sign without even being approached. It was not unusual for some to say "I live on the flight path and it doesn't bother me!"
You may have some good arguments as to why Swansea airport should not have any further development, the case can be argued either way. I am not against you or SANE giving voice to your opinions, some of which I can sympathise with.
What we in SANER have demonstrated conclusively is that the majority of locals (The affected area), are very much in favour of continued development at the site.
What I would suggest, if you are to have any credibility, is that your arguments should be based on rational instead of overblown scare mongering. A spur road from the M4 is never going to run through Gowerton and 3XXX. Fairwood will never be covered in concrete. And a Boeing 747 is never going to land at fairwood, never mind take off spewing fuel over Three Cliffs. Some of the comment I have read in the local press and on this site do no favours for SANE, suggesting that Swansea could be a second Lokerbee, and that planes will be taking off and landing every 10 mins day and night, just make people laugh,and do your cause no good at all.
