Medway is a diverse land. The villages amongst the farmland, marshes and valued landscapes and habitats have a different QoL to the successful urban developments. Outside of Hoo it is impossible to meet all everyday needs without access to a car - and these villages accept this. We don’t have easy access to shops/organised leisure/takeaways/nightlife. We accept this and have natural open spaces, marshland and nature reserves to enjoy instead. We lack access to mains sewerage, fast broadband with frequent cuts in utilities. New development must have solar panels, fast broadband, mains sewerage and pavements for safe non car travel.
