Manston Airport MUST be allowed to open again, with RSP's vision. Thanet has the highest unemployment rate in the South East. There is a ready and willing workforce. Training opportunities for our young people would make a huge difference to their aspiration and ambition and we cannot let this chance of prosperity go by. Decent apprenticeships will be offered without youngsters having to travel out of Kent to obtain one. Road links to the motorway system are already in place. Any other development on this site would blight Thanet forever. Passenger flights in the future would be of benefit to all of us.
