  • Bus Service Improvement Plan (Bsip) 2021-2026
    <DRAFT> BUS SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PLAN (BSIP) 2021-2026 SECTION 1 – OVERVIEW 1.1 Context and BSIP extent 1.1.1 This Bus Service Improvement Plan covers the whole of the Medway Council area, for which there will be a single Enhanced Partnership. Fig 1- Location of Medway 1.1.2 It is not intended to cover services which are excluded from the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, even where these may be registered as local bus services in the Medway area. 1.1.3 We are working collaboratively with our colleagues at Kent County Council, who are producing a BSIP for their own area. However, our plans remain separate for a number of reasons: 1. Only a handful of routes offer inter-urban cross-boundary travel. 2. Although the Medway/Kent boundary cuts through the Lordswood and Walderslade areas, with one exception, services crossing this boundary in the contiguous urban area are effectively short extensions of Medway-focussed routes. 3. Medway is primarily an urban area with a small rural hinterland; Kent is a large rural county with a plethora of widely dispersed urban settlements. 4. Medway's socio-economic make up is considerably different to that of Kent as a whole. It is a lower wage economy, while more than 35% of jobs are in lower skilled categories, compared to under 30% in Kent, and even fewer in the wider south east (source: ONS annual population survey via nomisweb.co.uk). Indices of Multiple Deprivation are much poorer in Medway than in Kent (see appendix 1). 5. As a unitary authority, Medway Council has certain powers that are not available to Kent County Council.

  • Capital Project Business Case Strood Civic Centre Flood Mitigation Works
    Capital Project Business Case Strood Civic Centre Flood Mitigation Works The template This document provides the business case template for projects seeking funding which is made available through the South East Local Enterprise Partnership. It is therefore designed to satisfy all SELEP governance processes, approvals by the Strategic Board, the Accountability Board and also the early requirements of the Independent Technical Evaluation process where applied. It is also designed to be applicable across all funding streams made available by Government through SELEP. It should be filled in by the scheme promoter – defined as the final beneficiary of funding. In most cases, this is the local authority; but in some cases the local authority acts as Accountable Body for a private sector final beneficiary. In those circumstances, the private sector beneficiary would complete this application and the SELEP team would be on hand, with local partners in the federated boards, to support the promoter. Please note that this template should be completed in accordance with the guidelines laid down in the HM Treasury’s Green Book. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-green-book-appraisal-and-evaluation- in-central-governent As described below, there are likely to be two phases of completion of this template. The first, an ‘outline business case’ stage, should see the promoter include as much information as would be appropriate for submission though SELEP to Government calls for projects where the amount awarded to the project is not yet known. If successful, the second stage of filling this template in would be informed by clarity around funding and would therefore South East LEP Capital Project Business Case Page 1 of 124 require a fully completed business case, inclusive of the economic appraisal which is sought below.

  • Download Strood Waterfront Development Brief 2017
    Strood Waterfront Development Brief November 2017 View from former Civic Centre site across to Rochester STROOD WATERFRONT CONSULTATION Medway Council is refreshing the 2006 Strood Riverside Development Brief to reflect changes since 2006, includ- ing changes to national planning policy. This has resulted in the draft Strood Waterfront Development Brief 2017, which highlights refreshed aspirations for the sites and design principles. The draft 2017 Development Brief focusses on three main sites; Strood Riverside, former Civic Centre and King- swear Gardens. The Development Brief 2017 provides a vision and guidance for the consideration of development propos- als along the Strood Waterfront area, attracting investment to further regenerate the area. It is intended that the Strood Waterfront Development Brief, once adopted will be a Supplementary Planning Document, which will provide guidance to potential developers and therefore be a material consideration in determining future planning proposals for the sites. The Development Brief itself is not a planning application but it is expected that future planning applications for these sites will follow the guidance in the Development Brief. We want to hear your comments on the design principles in the draft Development Brief, which looks at building heights, greenspace, river walks and transport. Your comments will shape these principles and the future regeneration of Strood Waterfront. After public consultation your comments will be fed back into refining the draft Development Brief where consid- ered appropriate. The revised Development Brief will then be submitted to Medway Council’s Cabinet for formal adoption as a Supplementary Planning Document, which will influence future planning applications for Strood Waterfront.

  • Village Living, Contemporary Style an Exceptional Parkland Development
    Village Living, Contemporary Style An exceptional parkland development of contemporary houses and apartments HORSTEDPARK.CO.UK A distinctive new neighbourhood is evolving at Horsted Park. It is a development of innovative contemporary houses and apartments set in a landscaped parkland perfect for family living. Horsted Park is located just 2 miles* south of both Chatham and historic Rochester, and is the ideal place for you to call home. *Distance is taken from www.google.co.uk/maps. An Award-Winning Development The first phase of Horsted Park has received a number of industry accolades, including a prestigious Housing Design Award and a Kent Design and Development Award. HORSTEDPARK.CO.UK The Story So Far Horsted Park is an award-winning parkland community which has, quite simply, captured the hearts of its new residents and property industry critics alike. Designed around a series of shared courtyard spaces and interwoven landscapes this thoughtfully designed development by Countryside and architects Proctor and Matthews, set out with the aim of creating an idyllic new neighbourhood. The original design layout of Horsted Park was inspired by the traditional Kentish villages and farmstead hamlets of the nineteenth century. Historically, buildings of different shapes, heights and purposes were gathered around communal courtyards, creating a safe environment for the whole family. And that’s what residents of Horsted Park enjoy today. Computer generated image of Horsted Park Attention to detail The relationship between interior and 5 exterior spaces was also of utmost importance, with many kitchens, dining and living rooms looking out onto private courtyard gardens. Computer generated image of Horsted Park Careful consideration went into the external aesthetic quality of the new homes at Horsted Park.

  • Chapter 9 Department of the Captain of the Dockyard
    CHAPTER 9 DEPARTMENT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE DOCKYARD The Master Attendant In the section on the Development of the Dockyard, mention is made of the laying up of warships in the Medway after 1550. Old prints show naval vessels moored from Rochester Bridge to Gillingham. These ships, out of commission, were maintained by shipkeepers who formed the cadres for the crews of the ships when put into commission. In Elizabeth's reign, ships of 800 tons or more in ordinary would carry a Master, Boatswain, Master Gunner and two gunners, Purser, Cook, two Carpenters and 12 Seamen for labouring duties. Ships of between 300 and 500 tons would carry a Boatswain, two gunners, Cook, Carpenter and 5 seamen. Most of the ordnance would be taken from the ship when it was laid up. These ships in Ordinary were the special charge of the Principal Masters of the Navy or Masters of Attendance of whom, after 1588, there were six. Their duties included the supervision of the shipkeepers, the maintenance of the moorings, the moving of ships in harbour, assisting the grounding, graving, careening and docking and undocking of ships, the masting, the rigging, ballasting and fitting out of ships and the reverse processes, the taking of ships from their moorings at Chatham to other Yards for rebuilding and repair and returning them, the transport of newly-built ships to their moorings at Chatham, etc. They would supervise the stowing of storeships and landing and discharge of stores. The Master Attendant was assisted by the Boatswain; usually a senior man from a first or second-rate either in active service or the ordinary.
