Plans to install a climbing wall inside Chatham's Dockside Outlet Centre have been approved. The proposals will see the indoor leisure facility occupy space above the first floor of the shopping centre, which is currently blighted by disused mechanical plant and ductwork. The climbing centre will be accessible from the first floor by stairs and a new lift. Covell Matthews Architects, on behalf of WD Limited who owns Dockside Outlet Centre, said: "This proposed development forms an appropriate exciting complimentary addition to the retail offer of the existing Dockside Outlet Centre.
"The fit out is expected to be a visually exciting colourful addition to the interior of the centre." It comes just months after proposals to open a dentist at Dockside Outlet Centre were approved, as part of a strategy by the owners to move away from a purely retail-led offering. Plans were also given the go-ahead by Medway Council last year to create a children's soft play facility in another part of the discount shopping centre. It is not known when construction work will begin or when the climbing wall will open to the public.

This sounds like a fab plan, and will be very welcomed. I feel that maybe you should also accomodate the disabled/special needs young and teenagers whi would love this facility. Comments are closed.
