Admirals Walk and the Kestrel have long been neglected. The Kestrel is dirty and the anti-social behaviour makes this not a very nice place to be [REDACTED]. The provision of disabled parking near both of these areas is unsatisfactory, and not in the best position in Newton close. Disabled parking could be better located and better marked. The disabled parking at Admirals Walk is frequently occupied by non badge holders and people [REDACTED] in the barbers.

The ability to walk to a range of shops and services from home is a very good thing both to the resident for their health and community connection and the surrounding areas because of the reduction in traffic congestion. Each new housing development, particularly those on greenfield sites do not have these added into their plans. A large development needs to cater for residents in more ways than just housing and play areas.

The map of Local Centre 2-16, 28-46, 64-76 (evens) Luton Road, Chatham, does not appear to show 28-46 Luton Road. This should be amended.

Improve local infrastructure first before development. People live in rural areas for a reason as they are not developed

Rural centres must always be in the equation when enhancements and growth plans and services are considered for Medway.
In the past rural areas have lacked the right investment and missed out on village enhancements.

I live in Allhallows and agree that our infrastructure is inadequate. It’s perplexing that more houses are being proposed here despite your own admission that our current infrastructure cannot support additional development and is not sustainable. What we need is investment in infrastructure, not more housing. If the Council truly cares about our community, it should prioritise improving our existing facilities rather than overburdening us with new developments. Supporting our infrastructure needs will better serve the community and ensure that future growth is manageable and beneficial.
