Having lived in Margate all my life and for the last 47 years just a mile from the Manston Airport I think the proposed Riveroak plan can only prove beneficial to the people of Thanet. We desperately need employment opportunities in the area. I understand that environment effects including night flights have to be included even though River Oak have categorically stated that this is not in their plans. I think many people locally do not understand this. In 10 years time air traffic will have increased substantially and Manston will provide an absolutely invaluable freight centre especially if road and rail infrastructure is improved.
