Representation Summary:

Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council is supporting Kent County Council in progressing a comprehensive scheme for the improvement of Blue Bell Hill A229. The text included at paragraph 9.2.15 of the Local Plan does not make Medway Council’s position clear regarding this.

Given the published transport evidence, we would like this scheme to be identified in the Medway Local Plan and IDP as a requirement, with a commitment to ongoing discussions with KCC and other neighbouring authorities, to ensure that this scheme can be fully funded and implemented once the DfT has approved the full business case.
