Plana connspaideach airson port-adhair ùr san Fhraing

Plana connspaideach airson port-adhair ùr san Fhraing
Còrr is 40 bliadhna an dèidh dha togail ceann an toiseach, tha pròiseact connspaideach airson port-adhair ùr a thogail air taobh siar na Frainge gun a rèiteach fhathast. Tha an fheadhainn a tha airson gun tèid a thogail ag ràdh gun tigeadh buannachdan mòra na chois. Tha iad ag ràdh nach eil am port-adhair a tha faisg air làimh ann an Nantes freagarrach tuilleadh, gu bheil e ro fhaisg air a’ bhaile agus nach eil cothrom ann leudachadh air an àireamh sheirbheisean a tha a’ dol ann. Ach a rèir mòran eile, chan eil feum air port-adhair ùr idir agus dhèanadh e cron mòr air an sgìre. Tha Eòrpa a’ bruidhinn ri tuathanaich a tha a’ diultadh an dachaigh aca fhàgail a dh’aindeoin òrdugh cùirte a tha ag ràdh gum feum iad falbh agus ri feadhainn a tha gu mòr airson a’ phròiseict.

Controversial plan for new airport in France

40 years after it was first proposed, a controversial project to build a new airport in the west of France has yet to be settled. Many people feel that a new airport would bring lots of benefits. They say that the airport nearby in Nantes is no longer suitable, that it is too close to the city and provides little scope for development. But many say that there is no need for a new airport and fear that it would spoil the area. Eorpa speaks to farmers who are refusing to leave their home despite an eviction order and from some who are very much in favour of the project.
