Representation Summary:

Building in Allhallows would drastically increase the number of cars on the road, as residents rely on vehicles for basic travel, with Strood 9 miles away, making it an 18-mile round trip. The lack of public transport and inadequate infrastructure means car dependency will persist, significantly impacting air quality. Additionally, the sewage system has been beyond capacity for decades, causing a constant smell of sewage in the air, which I’ve experienced for almost 21 years. Frequent emergency repairs do not address the root issue—overcapacity—worsening the problem and further diminishing air quality in the area.
