I am concerned about the application for personal reasons and for the greater needs and welfare of my home town of Ramsgate.

  1. I moved to Ramsgate over 4 years ago for better quality of life. I suffer from [Redacted] and wanted cleaner air to breathe. I also suffer with [Redacted] and I am concerned about the noise level of flights both at day and particularly at night which will cause me distress.
  2. I am concerned about the environmental impact of a cargo airport: pollution & noise + freight lorries travelling around the local roads which are ill equipped for such traffic.
  3. road congestion.
  4. Ramsgate thrives on a tourist trade, this would be grossly detrimental to local businesses.
