Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 1025

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Mrs Maureen Crombie

Representation Summary:

The answer to tackling climate change lies PARTLY in providing clean, reliable public transport. This is seriously wanting in Medway. We are a long, way off getting people out of their cars, myself included. Cyclists have to negotiate pot holed roads, train travellers are at the mercy of unions. Many cycle lanes popped up during Covid and some are positively dangerous. And many, unused. The one opposite Dock Road's Gun Wharf being a good example. Narrowing car lanes to provide a cycle lane just won't cut it I'm afraid.
And how green is it to allow development on greenfield sites?
