Representation Summary:
The LDP starting point is low for transport infrastructure in Allhallows so developers will have their work cut out. Most people commute outside Medway, to London or Maidstone to work. It's too far to commute by foot or bicycle or wholly by public transport in any sensible timeframe hence the over-reliance on cars. Four-Elms Hill is already an Air Quality Management Area. Much of the analysis is based on distance from bus stops, useless when buses are once an hour, take double the time it takes to drive, and the last bus from Strood to Allhallows is just before 7pm.
