I believe it is important to the future of Thanet for Manston Airport to be reinstated as a workable airport for freight and eventually passenger. The infrastructure in Thanet would not be able to cope with the additional housing if Manston became a housing estate, but with the new roads and the proposal of a railway station in Manston would make the location of Manston Airport ideal for people living in the South-East. Travelling to any of the major airports around London involves the M25, traffic accidents are common between Dartford Tunnel and Gatwick/Heathrow. The government plan to destroy a beautiful village for a third runway at Heathrow airport which is criminal when Manston Airport could be made viable for passenger flights and create the very badly needed employment, long-term not short-term as building houses would.
