River Ward Conservatives priorities for River Ward—straight talking
+ Combating drugs and alcohol - ensuring that the Alcohol Control Zone in Chatham High Street does exactly that.
+ Anti social behaviour—using the streets of River Ward should be a pleasure; this means cracking down on litter louts, dog fouling and unacceptable behaviour.
+A hard yet fair approach to prostitution -Keeping up the pressure to get more street prostitutes to use the ‘safe exit’ programme, which has helped reduce prostitution in River Ward by 80%, and has led to dozens of arrests for kerb crawling.
+ Residents' parking—demand a change to the residents’ parking scheme to ensure that residents’ parking areas are exactly that, particularly in the central zones of Chatham and Rochester within River Ward.
+ Cleaner streets and open spaces—making sure that all Medway contractors fulfil their strict contracts and keep the streets clean. Promote a Chatham in bloom initiative, particularly on all approaches to Chatham Town Centre next Spring.
+ Encouraging business to Medway—push for a revitalised traders' association for Chatham with the help of the Federation for Small Business and the Chatham Town Centre forum.
+ Ward funding—direct ward funding to local groups who make a difference across the ward.
+ Make River Ward even better—working with all agencies, council, police and voluntary to make a safer and cleaner community.
