Gillingham Town Centre can be so much better. The Town Centre plan has been in existence now for about 5years. The retail shopping area and the diverse shops that have sprung up since, have proved that there is a definite market for diversification.
Unfortunately the Halifax Bank is going to close , and this will as well as the empty Wilko store leave a large gap in the High St. Open to Vandalism .
A Public Realm space is needed to give the High St a sense of purpose. MACA are looking for a building for a Community Centre.
