Development of the transport network specifically also needs to focus on roads. There has, and will continue to be, a significant volume of new build housing and to assume that everyone will walk, cycle or use public transport is naive. Many roads in Medway are already at capacity and the situation will get worse with more housing/people. Congestion creates pollution - any new development should only take place where road infrastructure can meet demand - areas at capacity should not be developed further.
