Naval Air Station is used.

That is what planners were told last night at a public meeting at St. David's Primary School.

The meeting, the last in a series of three, was organised by the planning team of EDAW of London and Barker & Linberg of Bermuda which is to make recommendations to Government on how to use the Naval Air Station at St.

David's, the Naval Annex and Tudor Hill in Southampton, and Daniel's Head in Sandys.

"We in St. David's have given up over 800 acres of property over the years,'' said Mr. Albert Fox, who was among more than 200 people from the St. David's area in attendance. "We have had to put up with noise pollution, and you name it. I hope, in the final analysis, that we will be thought of the most.'' Some who attended last night's meeting wanted to know if lands would be returned to descendants of the St. David's Islanders who were relocated to make way for the Base in 1942. Others asked that transportation problems be eased by opening up the main Base road as a second access to St David's.

Mr Bob Pell of London, managing director of EDAW, said return of lands to residents was " a legal question'' that would have to be posed to Government.

But it was clearly the intention to make all the Base lands north of the airport runway part of St. David's.

The purpose of last night's meeting, said Mr. Pell, was to learn "what you do want and what you don't want as part of that''.

EDAW is to make recommendations to Government around Easter.

Management and Technology Minister the Hon. Grant Gibbons, who chairs the Base Utilisation Committee, told the crowd that no decisions had been made.

More than 100 people attended a meeting in Hamilton on Tuesday night after 150 turned out on Monday night in Southampton.
