Doncaster Airport Reopening Survives: Reform U-Turn As £57m Loan Passes 45-6 With Last-Minute Oversight Deal

The £57 million borrowing facility behind the Doncaster Sheffield Airport reopening has survived Monday's extraordinary Doncaster Council meeting. Reform UK's motion to rescind the loan was amended at the last minute and the loan was kept in place by 45 votes to 6. Reform secured the right to review any renegotiated lease between the council and the Peel Group before final approval. Reform's deputy leader has since claimed the party "never genuinely intended" to rescind the loan.
