The area comprising the Isle of Thanet is far too precious from an environmental, tourist and ecological perspective to be blighted by constant air traffic. Not to mention the lack of road infrastructure to accommodate a bustling cargo hub. Traffic congestion is already an issue on the roads in close proximity to the airport site. The Pegwell Bay Area, which is adjacent to Manston, is Internationally famed for its rare bird and wildlife populatuion, this too would be disturbed and put under unacceptable pressure by the development of a cargo airport. The history and indeed living attributes in place, in Thanet must not be put in jeopardy by this development.
