Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Representation ID: 1897

Respondent: Peter Chatwell
Representation Summary:
Medway's USP is the eponymous river, but there is no ambition to harness its potential in this plan.
1) The river can facilitate fast and zero carbon transport around the medway towns, if we target a material change of riverside infrastructure. Think river taxis, but running on electricity, generated here.
2) The river Medway is tidal. It could be a fantastic clean reliable energy source for the Towns. This could be a flagship infrastructure project for Medway, and would be a top candidate for the local government pension scheme of the UK and other countries to fund.
