Medway Local Plan (Regulation 19, 2025)

Respondent: Mr Graham Hunt

Representation Summary:

I broadly support this vision.
I'd make two observations about public transport from a Rainham residents point of view. There is little provision for local travel by bus - ie. Wigmore to Rainham Town Centre or Otterham Quay area to Hempstead Valley. I'd very much support consideration of circular routes that help "carless" people get around Rainham.
Employment centres on the Hoo Peninsular with housing in Rainham looks to me a recipe for further congestion at the Dockyard river tunnel.
Consideration to a train connection via Strood and Hoo Junction would help this.
