Unfortunately the houses on the Hoo peninsular are not affordable for our young children to get mortgages on. They are not being built to be environmentally friendly, ie not enough parking spaces, no garages, no solar panels, very small gardens indequate space for emergency services to gain access when there is parking on the road. There are no maisonettes, bungalows being built that would be affordable to the older people in the community to downsize. As the transport network is appalling it is difficult to access nearby services. We have 2 shops in the village, the doctors surgery is virtually closed and the doctors in Hoo rarely give out appointments on the day, it has a telephone backlog each morning at 8 am for appointments and when you finally get out of the queue all appointments are taken.
