Respondent: Miss Rachael Selleck

Representation Summary:

Chatham town centre requires urgent and significant investment to address its decline over recent years. The area has deteriorated, with safety concerns such as increased crime and numerous shop closures. To revitalise Chatham and restore its appeal, a comprehensive redevelopment plan is essential. This should focus on improving safety, enhancing infrastructure, and supporting local businesses. Without substantial investment and strategic improvements, Chatham will continue to suffer, impacting both residents and visitors. Prioritising these changes will help rebuild the town centre into a thriving, safe, and vibrant hub.
