As a Ramsgate resident, I am very concerned about the significant adverse effect on the town and the permanent damage the planned cargo airport would cause to our quality of life. I have not seen enough proof that it would be a viable business, that there is the demand for such an airport in the area. And if it is handling enough 24/7 flights to make it successful, can the road system handle all of the extra fuel and freight HGVs? Considering the many lives and businesses that will suffer – and the environmental impacts - the plan is a gamble with too much at risk. It will hurt residents and put off anyone considering a move to the area.
