Here's a snippet from the Isle of Thanet Gazette, followed by a short video from the talented Andrew Woodman...


The No Night Flights group has taken its campaign against Manston airport's proposals to the streets of Ramsgate. Ahead of Friday's deadline for comments on plans for regular flights between 11pm and 7am, protesters hired a double-decker bus.

On Saturday, they toured Ramsgate, which lies under the flight path, to highlight the last week of the consultation. Susan Kennedy from the group said:

"The message is for people to wake up to the fact that there is a consultation on and that, if people care about this issue, they need to get their response to the council. If we don't act now the town will be killed off by night flights."

Campaigners followed the bus, collecting signatures and responses from the public while handing out earplugs. Campaigner Steve Higgins said:

"This is the last week of consultation and those people who haven't sent a reply need to make sure they do."
