Want to have your say on your council's ambitions for the next four years?
Medway Council is consulting on a new strategy which it has opened for feedback from people across the Towns.
The One Medway Council Plan outlines the authority’s five key priorities until 2028, which include delivering quality social care and community services and benefiting from good education, quality jobs and a growing economy.
Other priorities include enjoying clean, green, safe, and connected communities, improving health and wellbeing services for all and making sure people are living in good quality, affordable homes.
The council says by pursuing these goals it can make the Towns a great place to live, work, learn, and visit.
They now want residents to give their opinions on what the authority thinks is important to focus on via an online or at a form that can be collected at libraries, community hubs, or leisure centres.
The consultation runs up until February 11, with the launch of the final version of the plan being published later this year.
The plan aims to bring the five towns together and unite them to form a stronger, more cohesive Medway community that benefits everyone in the area.

Medway council leader Vince Maple (Lab) said: “Our new administration is hugely ambitious for Medway but we want to ensure that our priorities reflect the priorities of local people.
“We have already shaped the plan based on views given to us in recent surveys.
“The One Medway Plan is more than just a set of promises, it also sets out the type of place Medway wants to be, how we will get there and the values that will guide us to get there.
“It is very much a plan for everyone in Medway so we hope that many people across our great communities will want to get involved and have their say.”
