Significant works on the river walk at Chatham Waterfront have been completed since the regeneration project began earlier this year. These works included resurfacing, new lighting, new guard rail and some street furniture and trees will be planted during October. In addition, the existing CCTV coverage has been augmented to also cover the extended river walk by the new housing development; Empire Reach. The aim of these improvements is to encourage positive use and interaction between the town centre and the River Medway, following the recent installation of a new floating pontoon on Sun Pier, as well as providing an uninterrupted river walk stretching from Gun Wharf to Sun Pier for local people and visitors. Further works in the riverside area include resurfacing and widening of the pedestrian footpath on Medway Street adjacent to the Staples retail warehouse. The intention is to make the area easier for pedestrians to access and potentially create a 'gateway' feature at the junction of Pier Chambers/Medway Street to encourage people down to Sun Pier and the River Medway.
