I do not think opening up Manston is a viable proposition, I have lived in Cliffsend for over 54yrs and in this time I witnessed quite a few air companies trying to make it work, the Thanet Council have spent thousands of pounds on survey's which have all said that it is not a viable proposition. We do not have the roads that are capable of catering for the cars or transport we have at the moment, Thanet is a very congested area now. I would not wish to be woken up during night flights and the smell from aviation fuel as they are waiting for their slot to take off is unbearable at times as we have experienced. I can see no future in this scheme only that it would be another "white elephant"
