The plan should be trying to reduce/remove the need for lorries to enter the medway towns. They cause harm to the infrastructure, environment, and they hold the Medway economy back by supporting low-value manufacturing/logistics business, where an ambitious SE England pseudo-city has no historical or current physical or logical advantage.

It would be best to have lorry parks, possibly around 30-50 spaces, located in areas like Hoo or Strood, as these locations might better accommodate such facilities. Where I live in Allhallows, the issue isn't as prevalent, but the need for proper lorry parking is significant in other areas. For example, lorries previously parked in a layby on Four Elms Hill, where a bin was provided, yet they chose to discard rubbish on the ground instead. Properly managed lorry parks should be situated away from residential areas to prevent similar problems and minimise disruption.
Yes there is significant lack of parking around the local areas especially the business estates.
