New vision outlined for Daedalus

A new vision has been drawn up for Solent Airport at Daedalus by Fareham Borough Council and residents are being asked for their views on the plans.

An exhibition of the vision and a Community Action Team (CAT) meeting will be held at the Fareham Innovation Centre (Bridge Conference Centre) on March 7 at 7pm.

The Council acquired the land at Daedalus in March 2015 and since then key achievements at Daedalus include:
