With the loss of Pfizer and approximately 5000 jobs it is vital for the future of Thanet that the Manston Airport reopens as the proposed freight hub. This will provide a variety of jobs both highly skilled and unskilled and will greatly enhance the future prosperity of the area. The alternative proposal of a massive housing estate with very little in the way of employment will have the opposite affect and lead to further deprivation.
