With the end of military control, the concrete hardstands and most of the perimeter track were removed for hardcore to construct the London to Leeds motorway M1 motorway, with single-lane farm access roads being retained for agricultural use. Most of the runways were also removed for aggregate, however a small end of the west secondary runway was converted for go-kart racing and the northeast end of the main runway was converted to a grass landing strip for small crop-spraying aircraft. Many of the former airfield technical site buildings are in use by private companies.
