Local government was eager to take up the cash during the "local airport ownership scheme" and one wonders, if perhaps it is incumbent upon them to provide a UNICOM service as part of that ownership. I can see the fire fighters in a Union dispute over nominating their involvement as it is outside their sphere of expertise. A lot of angst could be avoided if the airport owner simply supplied that service. In the US many FBO's service this need but they are a rare breed these days.

EDIT to ask after radio spruiker said Houston was not a pilot so didn't know what he was talking about. Is he a bona fide wing wearer or a "penguin"?
