Developing Medway is not creating new affordable housing for locals residents but for either remote landlords or for those migrating in from more expensive areas thus driving the local population up. This applies to all developments in Medway and is seen on a regular basis. Having known someone who purchased a new build here these homes are VERY poor quality. Selected builds on a site are shown to inspectors which is of standard but the rest of the builds are substandard. More snap inspections are needed and sell only to Medway residents who have been residents for 3-5 years.
