Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Representation ID: 445
Received: 08/10/2023
Respondent: Mrs Sally Carman
Representation Summary:
Medical services are already stretched beyond capacity. If only 5000 homes are built on the peninsula, with an estimate of 3 persons per household , this would require an additional 6-8 fully qualified GP full time equivalents. Medway cannot attract GPS now!
Our pharmacies are also stretched beyond capacity.
Energy efficient new homes require heat pumps. Our energy supply is dire. Since 1st Jan we have experienced 28 power cuts. Whilst most are mere seconds they require resetting of sensitive equipment.
Food shops ..Hoo and village shops offer basics otherwise leave peninsula to shop.
