- Thanet has the highest unemployment in Kent. The need is for more jobs, not more houses
- Thanet has the poorest health levels in Kent. More jobs equals a better standard of living, and therefore better health levels
- Re-opening Manston will bring financial benefits to not only Thanet, but to Kent and the country as a whole
- Road and rail links to Manston are sufficient to support an operational freight hub at Manston
- Re-opening Manston could help ease the pressure on Dover and the Channel Tunnel and help to alleviate the road traffic problems in south Kent
- Manston as an operational airport will be more beneficial to the environment and wildlife than building houses
