Letter to the editor: I am very happy that Boris Johnson did not get his way with the Thames estuary airport.

I hope this is the very last ever we in north Kent hear of this environmental vandalism.

This was always in my book a non-starter pie in the sky. Our wildlife need our protection.

The Thames estuary is one lovely place, not a wasteland like Boris seems too think. Anyone else thinks so too.

But his policy never considered Kent in the first place. We in Kent never voted for this man.

I am very happy with this good news for north Kent.

ROBERT DAVID STANDING, Gravesend
