I am writing to express my extreme concern that the introduction of a freight hub at Manston Airpirt which involves regular night flights will have a detrimental effect to the area in many ways.

The Health and Mental Well-being of all residents - but especially the young and elderly will be compromised and have huge on-going implementations.

The delicate bio-diversity unique to Thanet - which has taken years to establish will be damaged or destroyed by the pollution created.

Emerging tourism in the area will be negatively affected which in turn will have economic repercussions in an already depressed area.

Plans to develop the Royal Harbour which will bring many more visitors to Ramsgate and create many jobs would be put at risk.
