About

Hempstead & Wigmore is a residential ward in the northern part of Medway, primarily consisting of modern housing developments built from the late 20th century onwards. The area is characterised by suburban estates with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, along with local shopping parades serving the community. Its layout is defined by several major roads that provide connections to the wider Medway towns and the M2 motorway.

The ward contains significant areas of green space, including the playing fields and woodlands around Wigmore. A notable local feature is the large, modern hospital complex that serves as a major regional healthcare facility. The area functions largely as a commuter base, with residential life centred around its schools, community centres, and practical retail offerings rather than a traditional town centre.
