Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 703

Received: 26/10/2023

Respondent: Mr Kevin Shipp

Representation Summary:

This is not in line with local jobs, the businesses turn over 250million pounds in the Chatham docks and this will benefit only the shareholders (peel ports) that own the land and will not help local jobs and local turnover, losing the docks is not in the best interests of the local people and we will lose from the area the opportunity for high skilled jobs with an in the docks instance an average salary of 40k. Jobs to construct houses is not a long term income, once the houses are built, jobs disappear.
