Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 1215

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Mr Andrew Warrilow

Representation Summary:

Developments within the UK where vehicle access has been severely restricted - LTNs - have been show to have had a detrimental effect on local people - this is well documented. Areas directly outside the LTN suffer increased congestion and pollution, whilst any business within the LTN struggles to survive due to a lack of customer access. The sentiment is well meaning but to follow this failed model would be foolish, and to the detriment of the residents in that area.
