I am writing on behalf of my local pilates group to object to the reopening of Manston Airport. Our Pilates group meets during the evenings and is a time for exercise and quiet contemplation. During the summer months we often enjoy classes outdoors. The very existence of this group will be jeopardised by the noise from the airport. It will be detrimental for business and for the health and well being of participants.

Ramsgate is starting to flourish as a tourist destination and for a place for people to live. The airport reopening and especially cargo night flights will ruin this new and fragile economy and discourage people to move here. Small businesses are unlikely to survive this.
