If its not close Manston it is stop trade from the Port of Ramsgate. Turner is a white elephant, but please don't knock down our lovely useless towers at Richborough.

Even KCC leader Paul Carter on the radio this morning failed to mention Manston as an alternative to the Thames Estuary. <br /><br />Infratil wont stand for losses for another 5 years while the feasibility takes place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-13754307482479926952011-11-28T16:57:35.639+00:002011-11-28T16:57:35.639+00:00Re Kathrine Kerswell expect an announcement on wed...Re Kathrine Kerswell expect an announcement on wednesday or late tomorrow afternoonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-48317694953067114332011-11-28T16:21:47.734+00:002011-11-28T16:21:47.734+00:00There are so many companies in Thanet that could d...There are so many companies in Thanet that could do so much with this cash injection into their balance sheets.<br />Thanet as we all know is just in need of that helping hand to get back up onto its feet and then we will see real sustained growth. Projects such as China Gateway,Manston Airport,Ramsgate Harbour,Dreamland revival,Faster train links and our superb road infrastructure put us at the forefront of business growth and future prosperity.<br />The council need a coherent long term plan to help push forward plans that really stretch the investment and positive intentions that exist here.<br />Thanet is a great place, too many people forget this fact and talk it down, but compared to anywhere else on the south coast, this is where it really could and should happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-47244602052289181722011-11-28T12:52:21.578+00:002011-11-28T12:52:21.578+00:00Dont hold your breath for this cash if you are a e...Dont hold your breath for this cash if you are a east Kent business. You could still be waiting this time next year if the government's record on the first group of bids is the norm.<br /><br />Only five of around 45 bids that were approved in April 2011 have so far had their money. The government says sign-off should take on average six weeks, but it has now been six months and most of them haven't seen the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
