Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to lend my voice to the many local residents who feel Manston should once again be a working airport for Kent.

Whether it was just a freight airport or once again a full passenger airport, Manston would provide much needed employment to the local area.

In these uncertain times I feel it would be folly to allow such an asset to be lost.

With Gatwick and Heathrow a good distance away I think a properly managed passenger airport could thrive again on the site and bring business and tourist money into Thanet.

Now it’s the time to think in the longer term and secure an asset for the area that can benefit Thanet for years to come.

Yours sincerely

Jody Howard-McLeish
