Medway
Medway Council is a unitary council responsible for providing
services, including education and social services, in Rochester,
Strood, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham, the nearby rural areas and
the Hoo Peninsula. The council also ensures that people comply with
regulations, supports business and tourism in Medway and works to
include everyone and regenerate the area.
Services
People who need services can find information on this website or
at the council’s main offices, the town centre contact
points as well as in local papers and radio and in the free
magazine for residents, Medway Matters. You can also pay
online for many services, including council tax, rent and parking
fines and also complain if services are not up to your
expectations.
Decisions
Decision about services are made after asking people for their
views about, for example, what core values should underpin
decisions and much more. Councillors make decisions
about everything from refuse collection to regeneration of the
area. It is their job to ensure that services are provided cost
effectively, where they are needed and without discrimination.
Council meetings are publicised in advance and members of the
public are welcome to attend.
Partnership
Working in partnership with others to tackle problems
effectively and campaign is co-ordinated through the Local
Strategic Partnership and set out in the community plan. Other
examples of partnership working are the Children and Young People's
Partnership and Community Safety Partnership (CSP).
