Manston airport has had a long and proud history serving Kent and Thanet. This area is deprived and right now it needs the jobs that the airport can provide, as well as the badly needed infrastructure for another South East airport to reduce the reliance on London. I back the airport’s reopening as a way to look past the current ‘let’s make a quick buck’ approach of the council in favour or a longer term and sustainable future for this area and it’s youth. We do not need and also cannot support more houses and more people down here without jobs. Manston is the best way of securing them and also a way to engage our current disenfranchised youth.
