St. Helena Airport Consultation: Burgh House Votes ‘A’ (June 2009)Burgh House Limited has today filed the following response to the St. Helena Airport consultation. Replying for and on behalf of Burgh House Limited, registered in St. Helena as Private Limited Company number 32 (Director)
Burgh House Limited provides business solutions - See the  Burgh House Limited website for details
Selected option: A - build the airport without delay
Question 1: What is your view on the three options above?
A is the only option that will allow St. Helena's continued existence. B and C will result in continuing decline and the British government will be seen to have shirked its responsibilities to its overseas territories.
Question 2: How would each of the three options affect you, or the organisation that you represent?
A: provides a future for Burgh House Limited, for myself, my family and the island of St. Helena. The island will prosper. The relative poverty of islanders will be relieved. Health provision will be improved. The island will be able to move out of dependency.
B: provides no future for Burgh House Limited, for myself, my family and the island of St. Helena. The island will remain an economic backwater. People will continue to leave. Services will become unsustainable. Infrastructure will collapse. The island will become a burial ground.
C: provides no future for Burgh House Limited, for myself, my family and the island of St. Helena. After five years the decline will be irreversible and all of the Option B consequences will be inevitable. Option C merely prolongs the agony.
Question 3: Before he reaches a decision, is there any other relevant information or proposals that the Secretary of State for International Development should take into account?
That the people of St. Helena are British citizens, who have loyally supported their government in Britain for hundreds of years, in peacetime and in war, and who therefore deserve to be treated as a priority by the British government.
