It has also focused the spotlight on the local council who have mismanaged two very valuable assets. The port of Ramsgate and the airport at Manston . Both are laying dormant and neglected while the Council and the County Council sit with their thumbs up their bums and minds in neutral.Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk
Happened at Alconbury, there was network rail going to put new rail infastructre to Alconbury then up to felixstowe, Air frieght diverted from Heathrow and Gatwick so enabling more passenger flights in, the Upgrade A1 and A14 all were green lighted, a few locals and councilors said what about the noise, not thinking of the millions of pounds of income jobs and tax revenues, They went crying to fatty two jags, who advised it wasn’t a good plan due to the carbon footprint etc, all plans for rejected, councilors happy, area suffers… And they wonder why people hate local councils…
Then within a couple of years all the locals are up in arms because of budget cuts because revenues cannot keep up with local needs . The problem seems to be it’s always short term projects because political parties cannot do long term planning .
