Why is it when we loose a station on the synops they NEVER replace with
another nearby station. The same happened with Manchester Airport, I was
led to beleive Woodford was the replacement, but nothing ever happened.
As usual we move backwards in this Country.

Re Coltishall's closure, a new observing site in East Anglia is being
investigated.
