Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3943

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: Miss Rachael Selleck

Representation Summary:

I live in Allhallows, where access to essential services is severely limited. Our local schools are full, and grocery shops are 10-11 miles away, requiring a 20-22 mile round trip. We have no alternative facilities, and the area has been neglected by Medway Council for years. With everything so far away, residents must rely on cars, increasing road traffic and pollution. Adding more houses will only exacerbate this issue, undermining efforts to reduce car use and pollution by 2050. Medway Council needs to address these challenges and consider the impact on outlying communities.
