I and my family would like to see Manston Airport opened once more. It would bring more employment to the area than building more houses. There are enough empty houses in Thanet that can be used for this purpose. The benefits of a cargo hub and then a passenger airport at a later date far outweigh the need for new houses. I also believe it would take a lot of pressure off of other airports such as Gatwick and Heathrow. The sewage and water systems cannot cope as it is in Thanet let alone the schools, GP surgeries and hospital.
