Manston Airport Expansion - Could Affect You
You might all be interested in this meeting next Monday.
Christine
Even if you don't live on the flight path, the expansion of the airport could affect you because
1. Any subsidies given to Infratil, to bring the company to Thanet, will not be available for other things you’d like TDC and KCC to pay for [Who’s paying for the new access road currently being built for the airport?]
2. Airport expansion means loss of land for food growing
3. Traffic on roads and trains would increase – people getting to and from the airport
There’s a meeting on Monday 5pm, in TDC offices, Margate. Come and see how they make the decisions. Links below for information and comment.

Press Release: RADAR PLANNING APPLICATION RECEIVED
From: Cheryl Pendry
Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010
Subject: RADAR PLANNING APPLICATION RECEIVED
RADAR PLANNING APPLICATION RECEIVED
A new planning application for a primary and secondary radar installation at Kent International Airport has been received by Thanet District Council. The application is for a radar that would be 32.5 metres tall, with radio antennae and lightning conductor fitted to it. It would be located along the Manston Road, further up from the Spitfire and Hurricane Memorial Museum, as you head towards Margate. Supporting information submitted to the council explains that the radar would provide clearer and more accurate details of aircraft movement over a wider area than the previous system. Details can be found on the council’s website using UK Planning under the reference number 09/0637.The application can also be viewed by visiting Thanet’s Gateway Plus in Cecil Street, Margate from 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, with extended opening until 8pm on Thursdays. Thanet’s Gateway Plus is also open from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays.
The deadline for comments to be received is Friday 23 July 2010.
