Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Representation ID: 3528
Received: 08/09/2024
Respondent: Mr Andrew Lawrence
Representation Summary:
Medway has failed to take full advantage of it positioning close to London and the continent. This is despite the presence of great Grammar Schools. There are 30K NEETS in Medway which should be the Council's focus. To much focus on public sector is a huge red flag to business who might consider relocating to Medway.
Above all businesses need a willing and educated workforce in order to obtain investment funding.
Building on Chatham Docks and proposing housing on Medway City Estate is a massive own goal.
