Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 4013

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: Miss Rosamund Beattie

Representation Summary:

Build on the places that are already concrete and ugly. Kindly provide evidence for the climate emergency in Medway, I have noticed nothing which suggests there is no emergency. I can see the push for 15 minute cities - 'reducing the need for travel and designing for walking & cycling'. Sounds great in theory but in practice does this mean you will remove carriageways for cycle lanes? And introduce a carbon tax for those who dare to use their petrol cars? Urban drainage needs improvement, too much water runoff from newly developed concrete buildings/roads. Where is the overheating??
