"Delighted, so many people have worked hard to get this decision. Well Done! common sense has prevailed"

"We only need Carlisle City Council to refuse development of Carlisle Airport and this county is stuffed"
Judith Andersen:
"This is a very sad day for the future of west Cumbria"
Susan Robson:
"I think we are too small a country to have a nuclear waste site, should be in places like the unpopulated extremes of Russia"
Nic Symons:
"Great news"
