i feel that we need the airport opened for many reasons. We, the people of the county and the whole of England, need the facility to be able to travel and to import and export goods to and from overseas. locally we need the jobs that the airport and associated businesses will bring. Although I realise that houses will need to be built in the larger Thanet district I feel that these should be dispersed throughout the region with empty houses being redeveloped and/or made available and housing on the outskirts, such as in Birchington (on London side), makes more sense. Also we need the jobs and income FIRST and the various services that will be needed. Thank you.
