Jodrell Bank is a serious bit of kit.
The Lovell Telescope – 76 metres in diameter – is the world’s third-largest, fully steerable dish radio telescope.
The mooted closure is reportedly the result of cuts to the government’s physics and astronomy research budget.
At present, Jodrell Bank receives just £2.8million a year.
Closing Jodrell Bank is that sort of choice.
