Overly optimistic view of Medway. The areas of deprivation especially along the main thoroughfares impact travel choices and perceptions of safety. "Strengthening natural assets" is at odds with the proposed building in Capstone valley, Darland and Hempstead that will join up the south side of the Medway Towns into a big urban area and against the Vision's "...open spaces are valued and benefit as joined up environmental assets". Chatham and Gillingham High Streets are depressing places, little evidence of the "sought after locations" other than Rochester. Medway's farmland faces decimation under the plans.
