I am in favour of the return of an airport on the Manston site for the following reasons:
- It will ease the freight pressure on London airports and could obviate the need for another runway at Heathrow.
- To enable passenger flights both within the UK and to Europe.
- The long runway will enable larger aircraft to land, if necessary for defence.
- An airport will increase employment in an area of Kent which needs a financial boost.
I am NOT IN FAVOUR OF HOUSING on the Manston site for the following reason:
- Employment should come before housing, otherwise large housing estates become areas of social deprivation.
