However, no matter how much enthusiasm, positive thinking, good will, vision, flag waving, T shirt wearing will actually make those living in Surrey, Sussex, London and West Kent find Manston more convenient than other airports. Nor will the above convince the operators of major logistics firms think it is a good idea to operate a national distribution operation from the edge of Kent.<br />Sorry to sound negative on this.<br /><br />MarksmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-50880216239377375392014-05-20T19:05:16.832+01:002014-05-20T19:05:16.832+01:002:36 Tim was right about Manston and Thor etc wasn...2:36 Tim was right about Manston and Thor etc wasn't he?

Until the airport closed, our position was one of support for the airport as a local employer but we were against environmentally damaging night flights. We note that of the three reasons given for closure, loss of BA freight contract, loss of Ryan Air contract and the Government review of south east airports, none of them involved night flights. We suggested extension of the enterprise zone to cover the airport as something Government could do to help stimulate activity. The airport is now closed, and in my opinion unlikely to open again. As the local planning authority we await notification of the owner's plans.<br />We have already received a suggestion for housing on the northern grass next to the airport. We received this long before talk of closure. This application will be judged along with many other suggestions for potential housing sites and may or may not form part of the next stage of the Local Plan Preferred Options draft that we will be consulting on shortly. That draft will suggest how best to meet our calculation that we will require sites for 11,500 houses over the next 20 years, only half of which can be found within the existing urban boundary.Cllr David Green, TDC Cabinet Member for Economic Developmentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-4664058770463257492014-05-20T16:19:16.367+01:002014-05-20T16:19:16.367+01:00So true, Richard, but then, as we both know, most ...So true, Richard, but then, as we both know, most are from the tone and style of his comments.

To possibly amend the money laundering compliance policy to take proper account of other statutory reporting duties. The Terrorism Act 2000.<br /><br />William wrote about "Constant negativity". He is right in my view. But investors (thin on the ground anyway) don't pay as much heed to negative sentiment as they do to negative substance.<br /><br />For example years ago the rule that visiting coaches had to be out of Margate by 6 PM. How to kill investment in one easy lesson. The area's police could not handle the job of public order. Rather than address the problem this is an area that would rather leave the problem in place and commit tourism economic suicide to sustain the problem as the norm.<br /><br />The area's history of police corruption goes back decades with, for example, one major inquiry into Thanet CID, by Northumbria Police, driven by Met Police.<br /> <br />BBC and ITV each broadcast programmes critical of care standards in private care homes. Both used Thanet as their subject. In all of the country ? Yes Thanet features as the dross.<br /><br />In all of the country where was Territorial Army infiltrated successfully by paramilitaries ? Yes Thanet. <br /><br />There is information that in about 1980 Kent Police got rid of a number of Special constables for "Political infiltration" reasons. Yes in Thanet.<br /><br />In all of the country where did the well funded extremist right wing IRA supportive League of St George set up ? Yes Thanet.<br /><br />The UDA drugs importing ? Thanet<br /><br />Mercenaries despatching ? Yes Thanet.<br /><br />IRA defrauding the benefits system?<br /><br />Yes Thanet.<br /><br />Senior tory gets his own business rates written off and gets very lenient sentence for forging qualifications and dollars. Thanet.<br /><br />Senior tory associates arrested in possession of sub machine guns. Yes Thanet.<br /><br />Jewish business certainly aware of private military cadet groups and holocaust denial lectures. Question mark Thanet again.<br /><br />Industrial sabotage via infiltration of GMBU. Thanet.<br /><br />Thor and Sericol massive contamination of aquifer ? Thanet.<br /><br />Question mark about penalty clauses and contractual standards on Pfizer development possibly indicating Pfizer had no long term plan to sustain their operation in Thanet. Investors look at this sort of thing. (And were right)<br /><br />Reputation of area after Ferry Walkway collapse.<br /><br />Freeholders (Like University colleges) anxious to get rid of paramilitary training nuisances off their land. Thanet.<br /><br />The truth is that former coal mine tradesmen in East Kent made far more attractive employees because they had skill and employer would always know where he stood with them. <br /><br />Whereas local Thanet people have a reputation for moving behind closed doors. Being treacherous.<br /><br />Some contracting firms do say no local labour for Thanet contracts. I know of one firm that would rather bring lads from Port Talbot area. <br /><br />Like the London cabbie said "Thanet ?
