I am not clear that Southern Water is a reliable partner. In Cliffe and Cliffe Woods the sewage system is constantly under pressure. Plans to build further estates will require massive improvements to the sewage system. Has this been costed?

It would be desirable for Southern Water to improve drainage and maintain the current pipe framework. Already in heavy rain there is a lot of surface flooding around Star Hill and the Ironmonger's Yard site threatens to create more runoff and exacerbate the problems that already exist. Overbuilding means insufficient drainage capacity and insufficient water supply. Already in wet years Southern Water tells us via the radio that we need to conserve water. Do not overbuild.

Flood water management on the estuary at Rainham needs to be considered as the new developments have needed to retrofit drainage as this has been impact by the heavy rain, why would more developments there be explored if there is such a risk to these properties and damage to the coastline?
Where are the grey water and rain water recycling be implemented?
What improvements and developments will be made to the current water treatment facilities which are already being impacted by the growing population?

After much consideration option 3 for planning proposal is favourable. As transportation for Medway areas , would creating and using a River Medway bus service connecting the Medway areas be an option to consider . Infrastructure in Medway must be considered due to possibly future flood risks. Medway needs to have replaced outdated water/drainage sewerage systems before the future of housing is built. Alongside recreational facilities and services needed to accommodate a rising population level in Medway towns/areas. More importantly its the environment green spaces /nature reserves for all to benefit living in Medway Towns.
