We live in a very economically depressed area and a succesful Manston Airport would bring both jobs and other economic benefits to the area. The company seeking to reopen the airport have stayed true to their belief that they can make a success of the project and I believe that given the way they wish to develop the site they can carry the project through to a succesful conclusion. We need the economic shot in the arm this airport could bring to Thanet both for jobs and the knock on effect to the local economy. I live only about 1 mile from the airport and would welcome the sight and sounds of aircraft once more together with the benefits they will bring.
