Herne Bay Matters
Courtesy of the BBC’s Mark Norman (@BBCmarknorman) the latest development in the long-dragging saga of Manston’s decline and fall:
My reading of this is that Ann Gloag has had enough of showing an interest in any bid pushed under her nose by well-meaning MPs and local dignitaries. I expect she’ll now focus on closing the airfield once the consultation period is completed, thus saving herself some £10,000 a day, and concentrate on Plan A – getting the site to make her money. Lots of money.
How much more money can the richest woman in Scotland need?The last laugh lies with Thanet District Council if they have the guts to do it, refuse planning permission, then what is the land worth to her? A lot less than the offers recently made.
