About

Sittingbourne Central & Milton Regis sits at the heart of Swale, where Sittingbourne town centre meets the older settlement of Milton Regis. The ward includes the town's shopping streets, the main railway station and stretches down to Milton Creek, which drains into the Swale. Industrial traces are visible: former brickfields and paperworks shaped streets and housing, and the heritage narrow-gauge Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway still runs near the old mill site, a reminder of the area's papermaking past.

Milton Regis preserves a long High Street and a parish church that marks the older core of the settlement. Newer green spaces link into Milton Creek Country Park, with paths, reedbeds and views across the creek. Local services are concentrated around the town centre and the quayside roads, while housing ranges from terraces near the High Street to post-war estates. Regular rail and road connections make the area accessible for commuters and retailers, and planning in recent years has focused on reusing former industrial land along the creek for recreation and mixed use.
