I believe that Manston should be reopened as an airport rather than having houses built upon it. There is already not enough doctors, dentists and schools in the area. Its a more sensible option to use what is there rather than add an extra runway to Heathrow.

The former RAF Manston airport is a sight of historical importance and it would be outrageous to allow greedy developers to build on it to line their pockets. English Heritage should recognize the airport as such.

My partner, family and I believe it will be beneficial to the area.
