The ward of Chatham Central & Brompton sits in the heart of Medway, taking in the town centre of Chatham and the older Brompton neighbourhood. It’s strongly marked by its naval past - the nearby Chatham Historic Dockyard and the defensive earthworks of Fort Amherst give the area a distinct historic character, while Chatham railway station and frequent bus services keep it well connected to the rest of Kent and London.
Today the area mixes retail and local services around the Pentagon shopping centre with growing waterfront and campus activity at Chatham Maritime, where parts of the University of Greenwich and the University of Kent have a presence on the Medway campus. A diverse community and a range of cultural venues sit alongside Victorian streets, pockets of social housing and new developments, and ongoing regeneration projects give the neighbourhood a visible and evolving local energy.
