Thoroughly approve decontamination + use of brownfield sites for a mixture of employment + housing opportunities, plus urban regeneration through converting empty high street premises for mixed business + residential use. Easy access to high street shops could improve lives of elderly residents, as long as flats are made accessible, and night-time antisocial behaviour is controlled.
Development along Capstone Valley would be disastrous for wildlife, increase pollution by traffic, demands on schools, health facilities + roads, reduce air quality through loss of trees, deprive Medway of green lung, beauty spot, area for walking, all highly valued during Covid.

This is a commendable ideal and I hope you are given the time and funding to achieve it.

Will the businesses needing to be re-located have their livings safeguarded by the provision of appropriate alternative accommodation?

We desperately need an efficient and affordable local bus service. The current providers are abysmal. Cars are required for evening activities as buses are infrequent and unreliable. Greater restriction on private cars in urban areas, eg 20mph limit, could help the move to using public transport and also reduce pollution.
