Manston Freight Cargo Hub Objection - Affected Pre-Schools and Schools
I wish to object to the proposed Manston Freight Cargo Hub as I have very grave concerns regarding the overhead aircraft noise disrupting our children’s education around the area.
There are very many pre-schools, primary schools and secondary schools locally and many are going to be severely affected by constant aircraft noise overhead. I have listed those that are closest to the runway area. I have not included those in the Herne Bay area, who will also be affected.
Pre-Schools Affected:
St Barts Day Nursery School CT12 5EL Monkton Under Fives CT12 4JQ Minster Day Nursery School CT12 4PS Manston School House Nursery School CT12 5BA Growing Together Nursery School CT12 6HX Little Scarecrows Nursery School CT12 5BA The Elms Nursery School CT11 9QP Fledglings Day Nursery School CT11 0BS The Grange Montessori Nursery School CT11 9LJ Bright Start Nursery School CT11 9RT The Children’s Nest Nursery School CT11 8QX Mother Goose Nursery School CT11 8LB Hand in Hand Nursery School CT11 7AJ
Primary Schools Affected:
Monkton Primary School CT12 4JQ Minster Primary School CT12 4PS Newington Primary School CT12 6HX St Laurence College Primary School CT11 7AF St Laurence Junior School CT11 0QX Chilton Lane Primary School CT11 0LQ Priory Infant School CT11 9XT Christ Church Junior CT11 0ZZ Ellington Infant School CT11 0QH Newlands Primary CT11 7AJ
Secondary Schools Affected:
The Royal Harbour Academy CT12 6RH Laleham Gap School CT12 6FH Great Oaks Small School CT12 5FH Foreland Fields School CT12 6RH Small Haven School CT12 6PT Chatham and Clarenden Grammar School CT11 9BB (Upper) Chatham and Clarenden Grammar School CT11 7PS (Lower) St Laurence College CT11 7AE
RSP have admitted that people living near the runway will be adversely affected but I do not feel that they have properly thought about the impact on our local children’s education. Children who have disrupted sleep and disrupted lessons throughout the day will not perform well.
Surely it is unacceptable to blight hundreds of our young people’s futures in this way? I urge you to reject this proposal and help give our young people the education they deserve.
