Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 550

Received: 22/10/2023

Respondent: Miss Ruby Heera

Representation Summary:

Re climate change: it would be good to see more public recycling facilities along the high street. Encourage local businesses to think sustainably too e.g. more veggie/vegan food options (Rochester's quite meat heavy), biodegradable single use packaging, metal straws etc.

Re sustainable transport: having left London for Rochester, there certainly seems to be an over-dependency on cars, seemingly due to lack of regular buses and local supermarkets. What could help is:
- More local well stocked supermarkets
- More regular buses
- More electric car charging points
- Bike lanes and secure bike storage
- Safer walkways near busy roads
