Re-opening Manston as an airport or freight hub would bring industry and jobs back into the area. Mansion is easier to reach than Gatwick from a large part of Kent, and the basic airport facilities are already in place. It would create an increase in jobs without extending the demand for extra housing and the necessary infrastructure We do not need yet another " industrial estate" which will remain half empty.
