About

Chatham Central & Brompton is a dense urban ward located directly along the River Medway's western bank. The area is dominated by the historic Chatham Dockyard, a former Royal Navy site with preserved warships and industrial buildings. Its street grid is a mix of residential terraces and modern apartment blocks, with the main railway line and the A230 serving as significant transport corridors through the neighbourhood.
