Manston Airport site should remain an airport. it would provide a valuable asset to the area, taking the freight from Heathrow/Gatwick would free up more space at these airports for passenger travel, whilst giving Kent a dedicated freight hub.
It is an existing facility, the length of the runway provides for emergency landings.
Once established passenger travel could be added. Close proximity to London, high speed rail link. With Ashford for European business links.
It would provide much needed employment to the area, alleviating the London Commute in search of employment.
