Representation ID: 2836

Respondent: Mrs pat cooper

Representation Summary:

Gillingham Town Centre is now definitely included in the upcoming Local Plan, and the recent" Big Day Out" event showed just what Gillingham has to offer. However in the past it has been largely left behind in the development stakes. Wilko store is a large empty store, situated on a prime site open to vandalism. Banks closing do not help. For a high st including residents, there must be retail that attracts people to live and want to shop there.
