I am in favour of the reopening of Manston Airport and the completion of this project by Riveroak Strategic Partners Ltd.

My reasons (in short form only) are as follows:

  1. The benefits to the the people of East Kent, the South East, and the United KingdoThe m as a whole will be substantial.

  2. It will provide opportunities for the young people of East Kent to see hope of a future which otherwise would be impossible for many.

  3. With a good range of well paid jobs in the area, the whole economy will be transformed.

  4. The United Kingdom will benefit by having Manston Aiport back relieving stress on other airports and producing emergency landing facilities that will not cause disruption to the main London airports.

  5. The proposals documented provide a highly detailed justification for the future of Manston Airport.
