It's called Manston. They are going to spend money on trying to get flights going from Kent, England to Kent Virginia USA just because they both called Kent as nobody actually wants to fly that route.<br /><br />Then I've heard they want up build a new railway station 1 mile from the airport because the current railway station 1 mile from the airport is too far away.<br /><br />Then I've also heard they will pay to advertise flights for a money losing airline to entice lots to Dutch people to Kent. We won't be able to move for clogs, Edam and reefers. <br /><br />Of course, anyone putting such ridiculous notions forward would never have any intention of following them through to reality through fear of being lambasted as complete and utter morons for the remainder of their miserable careers.

And if it fails it wont be Paul Carter that looses his shirt but you and I and in the meanwhile other Margate hotels could suffer a downturn.<br />Unfair competition is what it is called, so I hope that they are just applying for planning permission, then selling the site and then handing the profit to TDC who gave them the land in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-39951548273887995502013-09-11T20:26:33.653+01:002013-09-11T20:26:33.653+01:00Press reports say the same designer has worked on ...Press reports say the same designer has worked on Dreamland, so the taxpayer-funded Turner/Dreamland/Old Town empire gets ever bigger while the rest of the area rots.
