Dear Sir or Madam, I am a 70 year old retired welfare worker and live at a retirement home in Ramsgate with over 110 other residents. At our last meeting we overwhelmingly supported the motion that MANSTON SHOULD NOT BECOME AN AIRPORT HUB. Of course I am registering myself only and although I endorse this feeling I am speaking on behalf of myself. However, I can inform you that the average age living in our retirement home is well over 75 and most are registered with the East Cliff Medical Practice. I/We are under the direct flight path into Manston and I/We are extremely concerned for our mental and physical health especially with the air and noise pollution from older, bigger transport planes which probably will be using the airport, if agreed. yours sincerely, Anthony Shephard [Redacted]
