As part of the housing infrastructure fund (HIF) for Future Hoo, the next consultation activity will be the Community Parklands Phase 2 consultation.
This will be taking place from Monday, 13 June. This will run for six weeks and provide residents with the opportunity to have their say on the latest designs across this key phase of environmental improvements on the peninsula (via an online survey).
Road alignment update: During the same period, we will also be sharing the designs for the Roads Phase 2 and Phase 4 schemes (this will include sharing the final alignment option we will be pursuing for Phase 2 following previous feedback, along with the Phase 4 decision for Stoke Road Roundabout following traffic modelling outcomes).
We will be providing further details to residents on the Hoo Peninsula at the end of this month, which will include a flyer issued to households. This will include details of public engagement events on the latest proposals for Community Parkland and Road schemes.
The full details will be highlighted in our next edition of this e-enewsletter (due out early June).
Did you know: In total there are six phases in total for our roads scheme and two phases for Community Parklands.
Before we go into our next phase of consultation activity, you will remember that we ran our second consultation across the Future Hoo programme this winter. We had a great turnout across our five public events, with hundreds of residents and stakeholders taking part in the survey overall. A big thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute and have their say on the various designs we asked for feedback on.
All of the consultation responses have been considered to help us progress the design plans. We will be sharing the main outtakes of the results in our June edition of this e-newsletter before we begin our next engagement work with residents. A full report detailing the results will be shared later this summer.

Over on the Hoo Peninsula, you may notice some small blue tubes in the ground. These have been placed in several green space locations across the Peninsula to monitor water levels and flood potential (as part of our work to improve the local environmental through the Future Hoo programme).
We have seen some reports of these monitors being removed. If you come across these monitors, please don’t remove them.
If you find damaged monitors, please let us know via our Future Hoo email address: futurehoo@medway.gov.uk
Thanks for your support 👍

Cllr John Williams, Cllr Gary Etheridge and Cllr Elizabeth Turpin attended a site visit with our Roads Project Team at the end of April. Local resident Stephen Swan also attended the visit at Islingham Farm Road to go through the proposals for phase 1.
The visit went well and we're looking to run more site visits wilth councillors across the roads, rail and community parklands schemes as they develop.

Our experts in the Future Hoo Project Team attended the Hoo Parish Council meeting on Thursday, 5 May, where we went through the latest updates on the Future Hoo consultation in June for Community Parkland (Phase 2) and engagement activity on Roads (Phase 4).
We will be looking to attend parish council meetings on a more regular basis moving forward. We're also hoping to attend other local parish council meetings too in the near future, to ensure we update local members on the latest progress across Future Hoo.

This May, to mark Measure your Pressure month, you can get your blood pressure checked at a number of venues in Medway, including high streets, participating GP surgeries and pharmacies. You do not need to make an appointment to get your check.
High blood pressure is often called a ‘silent killer’ because when someone has it there are usually no symptoms.
Find out where you can get a local blood pressure check this week
