Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3073

Received: 06/09/2024

Respondent: Ms Joceline Cook

Representation Summary:

The Council don’t have control over NHS infrastructure and even if NHS estates does build, GPs cannot be compelled to move to Medway unless there are strong commercial reasons for doing so. To get an appointment or register with a GP is really difficult.

In Allhallows, access to exercise and fresh air is going to be greatly reduced and replaced with urban sprawl. This will affect my mental health as green space is highly important to me. Furthermore, developers maximise numbers of houses which have minimal gardens and over time, build upon green space including parks, as has happened locally.
