Excellent news from Thanet Labour - they've rejected the ridiculous night flying application from Manston owners Infratil at a Labour Group meeting last night.They cite the "alluded to jobs figures", "quality of life issues for the thousands who would be adversely effected" and the current "section 106 ...needing to be properly enforced and renegotiated".
They also recognise that the airport does provide "opportunity for jobs in the Thanet area but there is much much more day time capacity which could be utilised".
"Concerns were raised about the environmental and health impacts on local residents, particularly sleep deprivation caused by aircraft noise."
Couldn't agree more!
No Night Flights is not a party political group, and will equally cheer from the rooftops when local Conservative Groups and Liberal Democrat Groups come to the same conclusions.
Shows what idiots run labour Let's face most of the opposition is coming from geriatrics with time and nothing better to do mostly from Herne Bay
ReplyDeleteA load of hot air over one minute of noise - get a life!
ReplyDeleteNOTE TO PEOPLE FOR NIGHT FLIGHTS! YOU'LL SEE WHAT BAD IS WHEN YOU GET YOUR FAIR SHARE! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! ONLY THE BIG GUYS GET THE MONEY NOT WEASELS LIKE YOU! THE COUNCIL COULD AND I HOPE DO THE DIRTY ON YOU JUST LIKE THEY DO ON US! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am neither a geriatric nor from Herne Bay. I work extremely hard at a full-time job. I spend as much of my money as I can in Ramsgate and Thanet. I care about my town, my family, my community. And, to answer another strange comment, I do have a life, thank you. I just want to keep it.
ReplyDeleteStrange comment according to you but a FACT, something you lot don't seem to deal in. Maybe you should be out sorting the social problems in your respective communities (there's plenty of 'em to get stuck into) instead of peddling falsehoods on here
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting that people who don't support the NO NIGHT FLIGHTS campaign can only spit bile and leave offensive comments. They are bereft of facts or persausive arguments and talk as if they care little for anybody in life.
ReplyDeleteNeanderthal Man is alive and well, and living in Thanet. Neanderthal Man doesn't understand modern concepts like noise and pollution. He cares only about meat, drink and fighting. Neanderthal Man is responsible for the decline of Thanet because he doesn't care about his environment.
ReplyDeleteWhat civilised person (or company) wants to live next door to such a backward creature?
In other areas of the country Neanderthal Man died out millions of years ago. Let's hope he soon becomes extinct in Thanet. Then, we might have a decent chance of attracting good companies to create well-paid jobs.
No need for night flights!
ReplyDeleteSO much space for take off and landing during the day
did anyone posting here attend the Ramsgate Town Council meeting on 25th Oct?
ReplyDeleteI counted 5 people from herne bay from about 400 attendees. Most were from Ramsgate.
2,500 signatures collected from across East Kent - mostly from Thanet.
800 names on our mailing list all willing and able to assist in anyway they can.
We care about our area. We want it to be successful and a nice place to live. Night Flights will blight the lives of tens of thousands of residents across East Kent. We dont want them.
You can ignore the facts made quite clearly here and listen to the fantasy from the Airport owners if you so wish.
We just ask you to take some time to understand the many complexities and think about the effect night flights will have on health, education, house prices and business, verses the handful of jobs it might create.
It's not worth it.
