Support for Manston Airport purchase bid

[mhm]

The fight to reopen Manston Airport has seen a US firm offer to support a bid by Thanet council to buy the site.

Investment company RiverOak said it sought to be Thanet's commercial partner through a compulsory purchase order (CPO) process.

The information came to light after campaigners obtained a copy of a letter from RiverOak chief Stephan DeNardo to council leader Iris Johnston.
