I strongly support this Application due to its positive socio-economic impact through jdirect, indirect, induced and catalytic employment across the Southeast of England and beyond. Being resident in the Isle of Thanet, I'm conscious of a synergy that will develop between this DCO project and another NSIP very near me: RiverOak's plans for the regeneration and operation of Manston Airport as a cargo hub with additional passenger services, and the prospects for cruise ship and growth in our own visitor attractions along the coast. Further and alternatively, the London Resort will require the upgrading of our major arterial highways (and the illumination of parts of them that are sorely in need of that) across much of Kent. This will also make our travel between Thanet, the Medway Towns and London safer and even better connected than at present. In addition, even local farmers will benefit from the fact that the London Resort will create new markets for their goods, helping to raise their horizons and productivity, too.
