Manston operating as a working airport will generate work and attract service industries, thus creating jobs for Local people
Housing will not create long term jobs,
There are already existing industrial estates with vacant buildings why build more to stand empty
Our current infrastructure cannot cope with current demands, the planned housing at manston will only add to existing problems.
I would say that the majority of Thanet residents wish to see the return of Manston as a working airport, for the reasons stated above.
I also believe that a working freight hub at Manston could lead to freeing up capacity at Gatwick and Heathrow airports, this would surely benefit the nation as a whole.
