AS a pensioner living in Cohuna for decades, where I have raised my family and involved myself in the community, I was disappointed to see the shire's stance on the Cohuna aerodrome. Why has it been left to the Cohuna Aviation Club to make us aware of what the shire has done, let alone, hasn't done?

The air ambulance service, supported by our doctors and hospital, is a critical service that should be above politics. I congratulate Cr Sonia Wright for at least doing her job, but I am left a little cold knowing others didn't support the upgrade opportunity.
