I am totally opposed to Manston re-opening as an airport for freight. As I live in the Nethercourt estate, about 1.4km from the runway, my family and neighbours live right under the flightpath. When the airport was operational the noise from the freight planes was horrendous causing the windows and furniture to vibrate violently even though we had fitted triple glazing and extra insulaion in the attic, and all this was worse at night. Sitting and eating in the garden was impossible,the vegetables were covered in aviation fuel and the water in the birdbath turned red. I am also concerned about the safety, health and pollution issues affecting my family,neighbours and children who attend the four schools also under the flightpath.The RSP plans will sacrifice the wellbeing of the whole town of Ramsgate.
