Love Gillingham
We have commissioned Design South East (DSE), an independent not-for-profit organisation, to run a new project with Gillingham residents and businesses.
The aim of the project is to understand:
- what you value in your town centre
- what changes you would like to see.
With your help we'll develop a new Gillingham Town Centre Action Plan and set a clear vision for the transformation of the area over the coming years.
