Medway's New London Airport


This is the prosed new London airport to be built across the mouth of the Medway Estuary. It would inevitably create a major megapolis on the eastern sideof the Green Belt.

One point to consider, the Medway estuary is a major migration stopover zone for wading birds. Birds - jet engines - hmmm.

I wonder what it will do for house prices in the Medway Towns?

  1. Isn't this also slap bang (excuse the pun) on top of the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery... a WWII Liberty ship still chock full of explosives considered too dangerous to salvage?

  2. This will probably increase the price of housing if the SS Richard Montgomery goes off and will also raise the stocks of ccompanies supplying triple glazing and other sound proofing systems

  4. It'll be OK. There will be a CPO for Belgravia, Kensington and Chelsea to create new swamp habitats.

    The problem there is the indiginous reptiles. I can't see them allowing the migrating visitors much room....

    I had to puzzle that one - CPO - compulsary purchase order. With global warming, B, K & C are likely to be a bit swampy anyway.
