Chatham should also have a tourist base if we are to promote local heritage and history. The high street in Chatham need total regeneration as it is unattractive to business at the moment. This also relies on people coming in from outside in the short term at least. The area has high deprivation and so locals do not have the funds to spend in shops on the centres, this is why businesses have left in recent years. Visitors will only come if offering something other centres don't such as small local business not large chains available in any high street.
