We support the reopening of Manston Airport as proposed by RiverOak. The airport did offer a vital service to this part of the country and was an essential element of cargo and aid getting to many parts of the world. The employment it provided if reopned will generate many other jobs in associated industries which will benefit the whole of Thanet and East Kent.

We do NOT want the site to become yet another housing estate, as the area does not have the employment to sustain them, let alone the roads and services.

We need Manston Airport operational as proposed by Riveroak. Manston Airport will provider the jobs which this area desperately needs, we do not need the airporet site covered in houses.
