I have been a long time supporter of Manston & at 70+ years remember when it was operational as a commercial enterprise. From comments I have heard from my local community they, as I support the reopening as a passenger facility, as well as freight to fill a much needed gap in the UK's infrastructure. I am confident that any investment to achieve this will be amply repaid. It would possibly avoid the need for a further runway at Heathrow & all that this entails as well as providing more jobs in East Kent. The existing road network should cope as well as can be expected in the overcrowded Southern area of the UK., as certainly less congested!
