Claims made against Manston airport owners in online blog

12:00, 16 October 2014

The new Manston airport site owners are preparing to respond to claims that another of their developments has financial problems.

An anonymous blog has published a series of claims online about the financial viability of Winyard Park, another of the consortium’s developments in north-east England.

It is run by Trevor Cartner and Chris Musgrave, who took a majority share in the airport site in a shock announcement last month.

In their announcement the consortium, which is also involved in Discovery Park in Sandwich, said they envisaged a £1 billion redevelopment of the Manston site, over a 20-year period, into a mixed-use scheme which would create more than 4,000 jobs.

A spokesman for Mr Cartner and Mr Musgrave said: “We have seen the blog and we are going to provide a considered response but we are not in a position to do so immediately.”
