Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3961

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: Miss Rosamund Beattie

Representation Summary:

Medway has a broad skills and industrial base and and this is the lifeblood of the towns. The Chatham Docks should not be turned into flats, we need good employment and opportunities to train the young in skills and trades. We do not need more flats for those on London salaries. Engineering and the creative industries are well known in this area and I support their support and growth. Wages in Medway are low which is why so many commute to London, this would be well addressed if better career options can be found here.
