Development of the transport network specifically also needs to focus on roads. There has, and will continue to be, a significant volume of new build housing and to assume that everyone will walk, cycle or use public transport is naive. Many roads in Medway are already at capacity and the situation will get worse with more housing/people. Congestion creates pollution - any new development should only take place where road infrastructure can meet demand - areas at capacity should not be developed further.

There is insufficient health infrastructure to support the existing population within Medway. Prior to any significant increase in new housing/population, this must be addressed first - to do otherwise is recklessly risking the health and lives of Medway Residents.

Developments within the UK where vehicle access has been severely restricted - LTNs - have been show to have had a detrimental effect on local people - this is well documented. Areas directly outside the LTN suffer increased congestion and pollution, whilst any business within the LTN struggles to survive due to a lack of customer access. The sentiment is well meaning but to follow this failed model would be foolish, and to the detriment of the residents in that area.

Whilst there does, on the face of it, appear to be significant potential for additional homes to be built in this area, the main constraint is access and infrastructure. There is only one main route out of the area - which is heavily congested at peak times - and there is still only one hospital in Medway, despite many 10's of thousands of new residents. The Council need to get this the right way round - you can not keep bringing more people into the area when you don't have the infrastructure to support them. Infrastructure first.

There is no infrastructure to support this level of development. Health, Education, Roads - these are all at capacity and are already unable to support the existing population within Medway. To take steps, through significant levels of housebuilding, to significantly increase the population further will only make this worse. Your projections on population increase are flawed as they are self fulfilling - if you build more houses, people will move into the area - and will be unable to be supported by the lack of infrastructure. Infrastructure first for the people who already live in Medway.

Relocation of business in order to provide housing appears to be counter productive. Moving 10's of thousands of new residents into Medway whilst moving their potential employment out of the area seems to contradict many other aspects of this plan.

Transport infrastructure isn't just a key consideration - it should be one of the main considerations. Historically this has been extremely poorly managed and is grossly inadequate even for the existing population of Medway. An opportunity exists to improve this, but it has to be developed and introduced at the same time as any new development. Historically, we have seen significant high density new building within Medway, particularly the centre of Rochester, with no additional transport infrastructure, which has significantly increased traffic, congestion and, no doubt, pollution.

Medway Residents regularly face water restrictions as there is not enough resource within the system, and waste water processing has been widely publicised as being at capacity, with regular discharges of untreated sewage. Utility infrastructure must be viewed as a major constraint- any new development should be directly linked to new investment and facilities provided by the water companies - without this, any major development should not proceed.
