Bus Services and public transport in Medway is not good enough. Services are non-existent, disjointed, expensive, irregular and often late and dirty. Bus centres and transport hubs are old and tired and in desperate need of investment. The failure to improve services is due to the failure and mismanagement of the ruling Conservative administration to act in the interests of Medway residents and a lazy and casual disregard for public transport.
It's time for a fairer deal.
Residents in Medway are entitled to a better say on services and standards. The Medway Conservative administration has failed on public transport.
- - Poor and limited bus service provision on Sundays
- - Massive fare increases for students over 16 travelling across Medway for education penalising hard working parents. Rejection of the Freedom Pass used across Kent
- - Bodged multi-million pound proposal to bulldoze over Paddock whilst existing Bus Centre in Pentagon is a shambolic sign of Tory failure to get a grip with Chatham regeneration
- - Limited and poor bus routes to Dockside Centre from rural areas and out of date online resource for pre-booking
- - Poor or non-existent park and ride programmes
- - Tory Support for further privatisation of railways and oppose more funding for rail infrastructure. Opposition to further investment in South Eastern rail services.
- - Poor and irregular parking permits, old and tired park-and-display machines.
- - Army of traffic wardens and CCTV 'Spy' Cars
In addition to the failure to manage the bus tender. We have seen a failure across Medway to manage public transport and infrastructure
- - Multi-million Chatham two-way chaos which has destroyed local business and undermined Chatham as a retail centre.
- - Pot-holed roads across Strood, Gillingham, Rochester and Chatham
- - Medway Tunnel Tax Time bomb inflicted upon the tax payer. Prospect of tolls in Medway
- - Poor or non-existent cyling provision
- - Constant and uncontrolled service road-works by Utility companies causing chaos
