Margate Civic Society wishes to fully support this application by RiverOak Strategic Partners. Manston airport is an asset of national importance, having been in existence for 100 years and should be retained at all costs for aviation purposes. The UK's existing airport capacity should be protected at all costs to maximise trading opportunities with the rest of the world. The DCO application by RiverOak Strategic Partners also includes valuable air-side proposals designed to create employment opportunities in an area blighted by the highest unemployment levels in the South East.
