because it would cost a fortune, but we don't care because we might get some
real contracts off the back of it".
Exciting stuff!
We obviously have differing definitions of the word "exciting".
But there's something for everyone here! *Apart from the airport,
there is a lot of new high speed railway including connections to HS1,
the proposed HS2 and the Great Western Main Line (and more). *There is
a tidal stream power station. *There is a new Thames Barrier, located
in a far better position than the existing one. *There is the
opportunity to regenerate the depressed Medway Towns. *Proper
consideration has been given to protecting existing habitats.
What's not to like? *:-)
The airport.
