640+ responses to Heart of Chatham survey


Hundreds of local stakeholders have shared their ideas for the future of a site in Chatham town centre throughout this month.

We’re creating a community-led vision and masterplan for the site encompassing the former Go Outdoors superstore, market hall and multi-storey car park, as part of our Heart of Chatham programme.

At the beginning of the month we launched a two-minute online survey, which received more than 640 responses from people living and working in Medway. People were able to tell us what type of housing, commercial spaces and green spaces they would like to see replace the site.

Meanwhile, an interactive map was also released inviting people to pinpoint their lived experiences of the wider town centre and to share suggestions for improvements. The interactive map was produced by our consultants Create Streets using their newly-launched Create Communities platform.
