About

Strood South & Temple Marsh sits on the north bank of the tidal River Medway within Medway. The ward covers low-lying river edge and the Temple Marsh industrial area, where warehouses, small yards and a cluster of light industry meet residential streets. Old wharf lines and concrete flood walls trace the river edge and mark the transition from marsh to built land. The A2 runs nearby, and a rail corridor cuts through the ward, giving freight and passenger access across the Medway corridor.

Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to postwar estates, arranged around local shops, primary schools and a small community centre. Riverside paths and sections of reed bed sit beside working quays and boat slips used by local users at certain tides. Development patterns reflect periodic reclamation of marshland and recent infill projects on former industrial plots. Local planning balances flood risk management with retention of space for industry and small-scale leisure along the river.
