If the regeneration of Chatham and Gillingham is a success, unit labour costs of the Medway towns will rise such that logistics employment will not be viable here. Preserving urban logistics centres therefore sets the plan up for failure.

Medway's USP is the river. We cannot compete with better connected SE england urban areas in storage/logistics. If we try to compete here we undermine the regeneration.

Urban logistics should be last mile focused. Car sales etc in urban centre should not be encouraged.

More facilities like Amazon warehouses and other large company warehouses would be highly beneficial to local communities. They provide a significant number of jobs, stimulating the local economy and offering employment opportunities. Additionally, such warehouses often bring improvements in local infrastructure and amenities, as companies invest in the surrounding area to support their operations. They can also boost local businesses by increasing demand for goods and services. Furthermore, these facilities often offer training and development programs, enhancing the skills of the local workforce and contributing to long-term career prospects.
