As a resident of Ramsgate for he last 7 years I have seen many good changes and growth occur in the area and I strongly feel reopening Manston to allow freight planes would be seriously damaging to the area environmentally and socially. The noise pollution and gas emissions are worrying for everyone’s health. There are many schools and homes that are directly under the flight path which should be greatly taken into consideration. This beautiful historical town will be ruined if this plan is allowed to go ahead. House prices will plummet and tourism will dramatically decrease. After all, who would want to visit or live where a loud cargo aircraft flies directly above you as you try to relax on the beach or sleep at night?
