I work in a school not under the flight path although I live under it, it is difficult enough to keep the children of our secondary school focused as children will be children however how will the schools next to and under which are numerous be effected? these poor children and teachers will suffer and be effected by aircraft flying a few feet over a town of 80 thousand +this will also effect Ramsgate, Dumpton, parts of Broadstairs, Acol, Manston, Minster, St Nicholas, Sarre, Cliffsend, Monkton and Herne bay. this is in excess of 180.000 souls, it will pollute beyond anything acceptable, the night flights would decimate the area and its people I know people living near us which have had there roofs damaged by aircraft flying over, this is like no other airport in the country I promise, this would not be allowed anywhere else. even Heathrow City airport, Stanstead have things in place so people do not suffer relentlessly but here there are no measures which can be made, due to the low approach and exit in either direction. the holiday industry will suffer as will other business' NO NO, NO TO NIGHT FLIGHTS AND HPEFULLY NOT AN AIRFIELD AS THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WE NEED THOUSANDS OF JOBS LOCALLY FROM MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS WE NEED NEW HOMES ON BROWN FIELD SITES NOT ON OUR GRADE A FIELDS WHERE CROPS CAN BE GROWN. I BEG DO NOT ALLOW THIS. MANY PEOPLE LOCALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING AND SOME THAT DO HAVE BEEN PAINTED A ROSEY PICTURE, I KNOW THE REALITY OF SLEEPNESS NIGHTS AND BAD DISTURBANCES MAKING MY KIDS CRY WHILE PLAYING IN THE GARDEN IN THE DAY WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG.
