This is completely underwhelming. 1st we have the Americans pulling out and Freudmann keeps the name for himself just to confuse the public. then we have a "consultation" paid for by Freudmann but managed by pro supporters collecting feedback reports where those against the airport refuse to fill them in because they didn't want pro-supporters to misuse their data. Then we get the official consultations based on 5500 pages of documents but unfortunately RO "forgot" to invite Ramsgate and HerneBay. Then we have the "further consultation" for Ramsgate and Hernebay people were yet again people weren't invited. Then it transpired that Canterbury Council's pack failed to reach the planning department.

Bear in mind that PINS, and others, are treating the Manston DCO as a dry run for other, larger DCOs (Heathrow, Luton). If the residents of the Conservative wards near Heathrow were only allowed the quality of "consultation" that we have had in East Kent, they would (quite rightly) be very unhappy... which could well rebound on their (Conservative) MPs.
