As a local resident I strongly oppose the reopening of the former Manston Airport site for a variety of reasons including:
- the noise and pollution damage impact on quality of life of local residents;
- the noise and pollution impact on health on the residents;
- the severe increase traffic in and out of Thanet;
- the likely harm to the growing tourist industry in Thanet (with associated job losses);
- the damage to and devaluation of local property;
- the fact that existing airports are better positioned already handle air freight and many have spare capacity. For these reasons and other reasons I am strongly opposed to the prospect of reopening the airport. I will campaign strongly against this proposal that will negatively impact the quality of life in my region and the value of my home.
