Medway Council acknowledged in October that they required more time to consider the draft Local Plan, taking the decision to defer the submission of plan. The Council now faces time constraints to publish the Local Plan and whether the Plan meets legal requirements, and positively prepared and consistent with national policy.
Liberal Democrats believe that there is a strong case for re-introducing a rail passenger service to Grain on the Hoo Peninsula. Currently, travel time from the Peninsula to Medway's urban areas and beyond is only accessible by car, contributing to pollution and road congestion. Why not offer the opportunity for those who live in the nearby villages to board and leave the trains local to where they live by the extension of passenger services to Grain and the villages in-between.
Liberal Democrats are calling on the Council to retain and protect the whole of Deangate Ridge, stressing its importance to the social wellbeing and social interest of the local community.

In addition to the Cookham Community Park, there are two major additions in the to the community parks, (i) the Hoo Flats and (ii) Lodge Hill with Deangate Ridge community parks. The aspirations listed in the first-round brochure have been transformed into reasonably well-designed parks.
