If Manston Airport is reopened as an airport then we will see once again experience low flying planes flying over Ramsgate High Street, the seafront, destroying the local tourist industry and local economy, apart from the same level of disruption in the surrounding areas. As far as jobs are concerned, only about 100 jobs were available when last operated as an airport. If the airport is reopened as proposed, as mainly a freight facility disruption will be caused as in order to make the airport any viable concern numerous night flights are inevitable.The last owners and those before could not make the airport a commercial success,and the same will no doubt happen again I feel that the option of residential development with leisure and light industrial facility is the only sensible option, therefore I am against the airport being reopened once again
