Thanet needs Manston airport and the jobs it will create. Manston has one of the longest runways in the country. Some years ago a 747 bound for Heathrow was unable to land there and diverted to Manston with its rail link to London. Were that to happen today, any plane would be forced to divert much further afield.
We cannot have more houses: our hospital, GP surgeries and schools are already stretched to the limit. Southern Water has said that it cannot provide the necessary water. As it is, we have regular hosepipe bans.
