It is intresting to note that Southend Airport which it could be said have worse road links to London is thriving with a big expansion taking place. Manston has much more potential than Southend. I am sure if you timed the plane to home time from Manston for a lot of people it would be much quicker than going to Gatwick or Stanstead. It is that that needs to be promoted. Also if the government are serious about the congestion of the London airports then they need to take positive action about ManstonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127571885770379182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-41511560855229362902012-11-30T04:25:19.658+00:002012-11-30T04:25:19.658+00:00Are you a member of the green party that talks b*l...Are you a member of the green party that talks b*llocks seems it?

After 10 years it's not bust but resting ready to be a great success? Every airline has gone bust there but it's bound to be a success soon?<br /><br />Drivel.<br /><br />And you ignore the aquifer. It's under the runway Allan. It's polluted. So you think that's not a problem and should be ignored?<br /><br />I don't castigate John for his 20 comments - the point made though is that his comments ignore the issues raised. Just as you're ignoring the aquifer.<br /><br />So you do know about monitors removed - but your point on the monitors is deliberately misleading. The main monitors were removed from a school and tower block in 2006. They could have been replaced as they wre required. Since then there are no monitors are at best completely weak monitoring that's either broken or simply nonexistent. Mobile monitors are your invention.<br /><br />Thanet's air pollution was 6x EU safety levels remember, as you'd expect.<br /><br />Infratil and TDC were deliberately reducing the monitoring to allow for expansion and negate the resulting cancer etc.<br /><br />Infratil and TDC haven't provided monitor readings in years and certainly nothing credible. Every month there's a KIACC or Airport or Council meeting. <br /><br />Why are you so keen to ignore them polluting you? Infratil won't thank you when they leave.<br /><br />One other point - why the overflights of the town? They're required to go over the rural end aren't they? Let's not bother with the missing fines for effective monitoring danger of IranAir or Afghan Air.<br /><br />Your grasp of law is flimsy when negligence etc becomes a crime. The Police should make Infratil arrests before they disappear and the same at TDC.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-60642630972641561642012-11-26T21:32:42.544+00:002012-11-26T21:32:42.544+00:00Does Manston fit well with EKO because it too is r...Does Manston fit well with EKO because it too is rarely used and loses money hand over fist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-67721525200808693162012-11-26T21:31:05.490+00:002012-11-26T21:31:05.490+00:00Surely if John Holyer transposes his efforts on th...Surely if John Holyer transposes his efforts on this and other blogs in regards to supporting Manston, he'll be buying up every ticket for the KLM flights to schipol. <br /><br />And no, he's ever heard of RAF ash. <br />I'm Spartacusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-19361915945215884862012-11-26T20:43:55.019+00:002012-11-26T20:43:55.019+00:00As the writer, I feel I am in a better position to...As the writer, I feel I am in a better position to know than you!

There is a restaurant over Broadstairs way which is a great success yet failed miserable under four previous names and ownerships. The Albion Bookshops in Cliftonville and Broadstairs folded but Michael keeps going. There is plenty of evidence of success from previous failure and that could happen at Manston. <br /><br />The static monitors were replaced by mobile units to test levels around Thanet, but then you know that. You simply choose to ignore it because it negates your argument.<br /><br />How many times and how many people have to tell you that police can only deal with criminal offences and most of what you refer to are breaches of operating agreements or licences. There somebody has to sue for it is a civil matter.<br /><br />See you castigate John Holyer for his alleged twenty comments.

With the asking price now about £7.5 million it may be cheaper for them to either give it away or close it as an airport. An alternative would be for KCC to buy and operate it as an airport. At todays price I am sure they could afford it and run it alongside their many other commercial enterprises. In the past they have alway been keen to promote Manston and this could be their chance to buy it for a song and it may even fit well with the EKO venture.
