I am a resident of Thanet, and I think it is critically important for the nation to keep the resourse of Manston Airport that already exists, and will be most needed, in the months and years after Brexit, used as a mainly cargo airport. We will have that independance that will be necessary to import and export goods from within our own border. Why would we give up on such an important resourse? That would not make sense. Also, Thanet badly needs jobs and careers for our young people. We must secure the airport, and consequently, employment for our young people, who are our future. We must take control, this is what was voted for by a majority at the Referendum and we must supply, to the best of our ability, what the country wants. Houses can be built anywhere, an airport cannot!
