To reduce out-commuting, you need to work with local employers who are able to provide decent wages. I cannot afford to stop commuting to London as even taking out the travel costs, I'd be approx £15k worse off a year. We need big employers in the area,

You mention "gain wide recognition of Medway as a centre for learning and its student base; and realise economic and place-making opportunities associated with the cluster of universities/colleges in Medway", however the Art College was allowed to close and is now becoming flats! We need to keep creative focus as well as academic.
