Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 2418

Respondent: Mr Sergio Nogues

Representation Summary:

Young people have nowhere to go without spending money, which they generally don't have. They can enjoy, learn and engage with the community in a wide range of activities, if given the right spaces and equipement... which in time will prove to be a huge money saver by reducing vandalism and crime etc.
Both young people and the elderly feel isolated, lonely and very alienated. This also translates into a much higher social care expenditure. There are many examples of how other cities have addressed these problems successfully.
