Regeneration bosses at Medway Council have confirmed that refurbishment works are due to take place at Sun Pier, following the recent improvements in the waterfront area. The proposed refurbishment of Sun Pier will include repainting the existing railings/metal work, replacing any timber where necessary, providing a new lighting scheme to match the scheme in place on the redeveloped river walk and the renewal of the benches. Media Source: Flickriver In early May, work began on carrying out public realm works in the waterfront area of Chatham town centre, with significant improvements to the river walk, Medway Street and surrounding areas. These works took place to improve the connectivity between the town centre and riverside, as well as integrating the two areas once again since the removal of the 'harsh' ring-road layout. The pier refurbishment works have been additonally funded and will begin later this year with an estimated completion by Spring 2016.
Chatham Regeneration Manager, Sunny Ee, said: "Although these are fairly simple steps, we're hoping that this will provide a significant improvement and, as the river walk has done, encourage positive interaction with the river."
