A member of the ruling Labour administration in Swansea said he was "totally dissatisfied" with the situation surrounding the county's airport, which the council owns. Cllr David Hopkins was responding to another set of questions from frustrated users of the airport at a meeting of full council.
He and council leader Rob Stewart said they were restricted in what they could say due to ongoing legal advice and were not trying to avoid the questions. Cabinet is to consider what further courses of action might be available for the authority, including its costs, but it's not clear when the meeting will take place.
In January cabinet decided to negotiate a new lease with the existing operator to continue running the airport at Fairwood Common, Gower, despite complaints from users about the way they felt it was being operated. The council doesn't want to run the airport on cost and environmental grounds. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
