Our latest Medway Matters Live evening took place on Thursday 1 October 2026 at Strood Sports Centre.
Leader, Councillor Vince Maple, and Chief Executive Richard Hicks spoke about:
- vision and plans for Medway
- local government reorganisation and what it means for Medway.
The audience also put their questions and views to the Leader and Chief Executive in a question and answer panel hosted by TV news personality Rob Smith.
We will share a recording of this event in the coming weeks.
