as a local resident i feel it is extremely important to the future of the local economy of East Kent that proposals for Manston Airport to be used for aviation are given the due recognition they deserve. as an expert in urban and economic geography i am unaware of successful regional economies that do not have an airport. Its presence as a cargo hub will provide much needed employment to the area and open the door on investment into a deprived region. I have no doubt it would evolve with good management into a passenger hub too and provide a sustainable alternative to extra runways in the immediate London area..... yours sincerely Dr Dan Donoghue
