Every opportunity should be given for Manston to remain as a working airport to provide employment for current and future generations. Thanet is a peninsular and, unlike more central areas, concentrates traffic movements in one directiion making it totally unsuitable for housing developments to meet a national requirement.
It is imperative to give job creation a chance. If it eventually transpires that an airfield is unsustainable, the land will still be available for future development. If houses are built without giving employment a chance it would be almost impossible to reverse the situation.
