Exciting stuff!

We obviously have differing definitions of the word "exciting".


But there's something for everyone here! Apart from the airport,
there is a lot of new high speed railway including connections to HS1,
the proposed HS2 and the Great Western Main Line (and more). There is
a tidal stream power station. There is a new Thames Barrier, located
in a far better position than the existing one. There is the
opportunity to regenerate the depressed Medway Towns. Proper
consideration has been given to protecting existing habitats.

What's not to like? :-)

There is a much more comprehensive explanation of the proposals in the
