Ian Driver Green Party PPC Thanet South Statement on Sale of Manston Airport
Thanet South Green Party Parliamentary Candidate Ian Driver
said that “ any industrial,
commercial and residential development
on or around the Manston Airport site
must comply with the highest environmental standards. The new owners of the
site must ensure that micro generation, water re-use and insulation technologies are
deployed in any developments and that
any jobs created are long term sustainable and pay living wages. The new owners
should also return some of their land to agricultural
use and set aside land for nature areas
and community allotments for residents. If properly managed the
development of the Manston/ Thanet Central Island area could be good for the environment
and good for the economy and jobs. Thanet Green Party and I will not spare our efforts in ensuring that planning applications from the owner are throughly scrutinised, of the highest standard and that our environment is protected"
