Thanet Greens warmly welcome the TDC Labour Group’s decision to drop its support for the compulsory purchase of Manston Airport.
We are delighted that the Labour Group now agrees with the Greens that a mixed commercial, leisure and residential development on the former airport site is better for the people of Thanet, and better for Thanet's economic and environmental well-being, than its use as a polluting airport, even if running it as such was a realistic possibility.
In light of this very encouraging and positive decision, we invite Thanet Labour to -
- Work with Thanet Greens to build on our existing positive relationship with Stone Hill Park management, to ensure that the development of the former Manston Airport is economically beneficial, environmentally friendly and sustainable.
- Review its position on the environmentally damaging Thanet Parkway Station, and work with us to oppose this development and promote sustainable alternatives.
- Work in partnership with Thanet Greens to develop a response to the forthcoming Thanet Local Plan which will protect and enhance Thanet's environment and promote sustainable development in the district, to provide a legacy for our children and grandchildren.
