Good day, I have been a resident of Westgate for 30 years and have been following the progress of Riveroaks' bit very closely. and am strongly in favour of re-opening the airport. I used the services when it was open to fly internally in the UK and abroad and was delighted not to have to travel to the major airports. On a community level - we need jobs in the area. We had a very successful cargo operation so, after Brexit when we anticipate trading more fully with the rest of the world - an enlarged cargo facility will be essential. The knock on effects of an airport are huge. Hotel accommodation for travellers, local businesses supplying the airport are just two. And, it will raise our profile - and Thanet really needs that! regards, Anne Ward
