Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 1852

Received: 22/07/2024

Respondent: Mrs Stella Tiller

Representation Summary:

Re-instating the passenger railway line into Grain is probably the single best idea of this whole plan. The residents of Hoo are often complaining about the single main road exit from the area, causing congestion for those commuting out of the area. A passenger rail line makes total sense. Esp as it’s not possible to put an additional railway line/station to accommodate Lordswood, Walderslade, Hempstead and Lidsing (should it go ahead) making development in these areas virtually car dependent. However, it desperately needs to have a rail link between Hoo and Medway towns.
