thanet employment
3,500 unemployed, but as we know from events in Lincolnshire, Manston can't promise thanet jobs for thanet people.
City airport is slap bang in the middle of Newham, which is further down the deprivation chart than Thanet is.
And Manston is not going to create anywhere near 3,500 jobs in the next 20 years. Maybe a couple of hundred extra, if it ever gets off the ground, excuse the pun.
Thanet needs something, but its not the airport thanks.
