I live in a small-ish village south of Nottingham, with a local active airfield a couple of miles down the road. It is pretty useful for us, as the Air Cadets building the boy attends is there, and the airport building has a nice little cafe for coffee and cakes, and a weekend full English. We like to go at the weekend and just watch the planes (as the boy is a plane geek, which has rubbed off a bit).
In recent years, there have been plans to totally obliterate it, with a massive development of thousands of houses, which we are not keen on, as it would remove a useful asset.
If anyone wants to support in stopping these sorts of developments (I guess ours is not unique, or maybe there will be future plans elsewhere), please sign:

Petition: Reclassify general aviation airfields as greenfield not brownfield sites
Airfields around the country are categorised as brownfield sites making them attractive for development of housing estates.
