Medway is in need of a local plan, but planners need to remember that you need to put provision in place BEFORE getting people to use it. Much of Medway (esp Chatham, Walderslade, Lordswood etc) are very hilly, and cycling only suitable for the very fittest. We encourage Londoners to move here, but build houses miles from stations. And public transport is slow and expensive. It takes half a day to get from Lordswood to Rainham and back. 20-30mins return by car. Speed us essential when needing to get to vulnerable elderly relatives elsewhere in the towns.
