T3 Provision for Pedestrians

Medway Council will develop a network of safe and convenient footpaths, to link houses, schools, town centres, work places, recreation areas and public transport routes. Development proposals shall provide attractive and safe pedestrian access. In all cases, they should maintain or improve pedestrian routes related to the site. New pedestrian routes should closely follow pedestrians’ preferred routes, should be designed to provide an attractive and safe pedestrian environment, and ensure they are accessible by people with disabilities wherever possible.
