I would very much like to see Manston Airport re-open as an airport. I feel that this is, and always has been, a depressed area and the airport would bring many jobs of varying types. It would provide apprenticeships and jobs for our young people who struggle to find work and often have to leave the area to find apprenticeships etc. on minimal wages with high cost accommodation. There would also be more jobs for people supporting families in the area. Transport of freight must surely help with the congestion at the channel tunnel which is only going to get worse.
