FORD ECO-TOWN: Ford minister 'refused a tour of the site with us' – MPs
MP Nick Gibb said he was disappointed Ms Flint had decided against visiting the eco-town site with him.
He had offered, along with fellow MP Nick Herbert, to take the government minister on a tour of the largely greenfield area around the former airfield.
"I thought the most important thing for her today was to visit the site," said Mr Gibb, the MP for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. "All the information she was given at the meeting was available in documents.
"So, both Nick Herbert and I wanted to show her what the airfield site is really like. We wanted her to see the special beauty of this part of the Sussex countryside.
"You don't really see it when you drive along Ford Lane. But at least Ms Flint came down here. CAFE and the parish councils put the case over for the community very well."
