About the future of Hoo
If more homes are built on the Hoo Peninsula there will need to be improvements to roads, transport and environment to support this.
It is essential that the necessary road and environmental infrastructure in and around the Hoo Peninsula is put in place for residents.
Medway's bid focused on significantly improving the Hoo Peninsula's transport connections, environmental infrastructure and having these in place first.

Work is already underway
We are working with the government to agree the legal and project management arrangements, so that we can move quickly with getting the projects underway.
We are also continuing to develop the project timelines and budgets.
We will also prepare to secure planning permissions for road and environmental investments.
