Medway’s claim that its new Local Plan prioritises the environment is misleading. The plan’s goal of achieving net zero carbon by 2050 is undermined by the proposed development in Allhallows, which would drastically increase car use and harm the environment. With insufficient public transport options, residents will be reliant on cars, contradicting the government's aim to reduce road traffic by 2050. Furthermore, building on a floodplain in my village is irresponsible, given the worsening environmental conditions each year. It’s absurd that such plans are moving forward despite their negative impact on both the environment and climate goals.
