I plan to object to Riveroak's proposal for Manston Airport for the following reasons:

  1. The noise of low flying aircraft will affect the quality of my life by polluting the atmosphere and interrupting my sleep.
  2. Ramsgate is a tourist town and relies on the tourist pound. Who would want to visit with noisy aircraft flying over the town interrupting sleep?
  3. Security. Who will police the perimeter fence? The danger of low flying aircraft over the town and air to surface missiles doesn't bear thinking about. Who will pay for this extra service, the council tax payers?
  4. We need more homes
  5. Am not convinced that the company has enough finance to carry out it's plans.
