Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Representation ID: 3849
Received: 08/09/2024
Respondent: Miss Rachael Selleck
Representation Summary:
In Allhallows, there are virtually no local job opportunities, forcing residents to travel long distances for work. As more houses are built in Medway without corresponding job creation, the reliance on cars increases, exacerbating traffic and pollution issues. The lack of local employment means that people are compelled to commute further, which strains the already limited infrastructure and worsens the environmental impact. To address this, it's crucial to balance housing developments with the creation of local jobs and improved transport options.
