Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Representation ID: 4116

Respondent: Medway Labour and Cooperative Group
Representation Summary:
User hierarchy needs significant work to be achieved - significant gaps in walking, cycling and public transport networks are clear - particular tensions between brownfield low car developments and suburban growth. Existing urban settlements need to be considered where car dependency is built into Victorian Street networks.
Street design needs to also consider road collision reduction measures. There is an urgent need to reexamine organisational opposition to 20 MPH zones in suitable residential areas and other measures that reduce collision risk.
