We're designated!

In August 2019, Medway Council designated Arches ‘Chatham’ Neighbourhood Forum (ACNF) as a qualifying body and its associated boundary, covering the Brook, Shipwrights and Luton areas in Chatham.

To celebrate and officiate this fantastic news, we held our inaugural annual general meeting in October of the same year, during which a committee was elected, constitution agreed and we were officially neighbourhood planning!

Thanks to the work of Arches Local, who were instrumental in establishing the forum and planting the neighbourhood planning seed, the ACNF had a solid foundation to work from as numerous consultation events and conversations were already underway. You’re able to find reports about these pre-designation events and activities here:
