Does this mean that you are in favour of Boris Island?<br />Thanet needs more economic stimulus but I agree this should not be at a social cost to residents or our open spaces. The current alternative seems to be development of freight, night flights, massive warehousing on agricultural land and thousands of lorries. Is it not better to use what we already have to the benefit of the whole of Thanet?Buzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031374619701503925.post-44749474814362509632012-01-20T07:06:17.072+00:002012-01-20T07:06:17.072+00:00Perhaps the 40,000 residents of Ramsgate should st...Perhaps the 40,000 residents of Ramsgate should start supporting building on/selling off bits of Westbrook?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031374619701503925.post-31501581242201896592012-01-19T11:59:26.390+00:002012-01-19T11:59:26.390+00:00I would not subscribe to flattening Ramsgate I lik...I would not subscribe to flattening Ramsgate I like Ramsgate. I think its a question of balance. We do need well paid jobs in Thanet not just Margate to replace those lost at Pfizer. Passenger traffic in my opinion has to be better than freight.Buzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031374619701503925.post-47926034941059943042012-01-19T11:09:56.266+00:002012-01-19T11:09:56.266+00:00Why not build "Boris Island" at Manston,...Why not build "Boris Island" at Manston, only need to compulsory purchase Ramsgate and flatten it, think of all the lovely new jobs for Margate.<br /><br />On a slightly different tack I heard the new ASDA Ramsgate was having difficulty recruiting staff, no-one was prepared to work weekends and evenings.Readithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343086161535755495noreply@blogger.com
