Leisure Actions

Well designed, legible and active routes into Central Park from Market Street, new routes into the park from Lowfield Street and through the Acacia complex to provide access for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Promote the activities within the town centre for leisure and recreation including the Leisure Centre and swimming pool, sports pitches, skate parks and pitch and putt facilities for example.

Improve access to River Darent and the quality of the environment along its edges, and the river’s ecology.

Deliver new developments that face the park, which enliven the space and provide overlooking of the space.

Improve the setting of the theatre in terms of active frontages and safe routes to complementary uses.

Support non-residential and leisure uses outside of the primary shopping frontages.
