Willington Street Pump Track – MBC Consultation
Survey Closes 14th June 2026
A pump track is a purpose-built circuit track for cycling but can be used by all wheeled sports including mountain bikes, BMX bikes, WCMX Wheelchairs, skateboards and scooters. A pump track’s form means that users can generate and control their speed solely by shifting their weight and pushing into the track’s features – ‘pumping’. Pump tracks can provide a physical workout and development skills across all wheeled sports.

NHS Kent & Medway 5 Year Strategy

Health and care in Kent and Medway are at a critical turning point. People are living longer, but many are spending more years in poor health.
Inequalities remain significant, with life expectancy varying dependent on where you live. Demand for services continues to rise, mental health needs are increasing, and hospitals are under sustained pressure. At the same time, the NHS faces serious financial challenges.

Help shape a safer Maidstone – Discussion Group
Maidstone Borough Council is working with Involve to launch Maidstone Together: A Community Discussion.
This is your chance to be part of genuine discussion and real decision making about how to make our borough safer for everyone.
It’s a space where residents come together, share experiences, hear from experts, and develop recommendations that will directly shape Maidstone Borough’s strategy on violence against women and girls.
We will have 36 residents taking part. These participants will be carefully selected from people who volunteer themselves, to ensure they represent the different groups across our local population. To create the safest environment for discussing sensitive topics, the process involves small groups based on age and gender (women, men, teenage girls, and teenage boys). All groups welcome and include trans and non-binary people.
If you are aged 16-18, we will also need you to share the contact details of a parent, guardian or carer to provide their consent for you to take part.
If you are from a local community organisation you can complete the sign up form on behalf of someone else if they have asked for support.

My Community Voice
My Community Voice is a messaging service that helps Kent and Medway residents, businesses, and community groups to keep in touch with their local policing teams. The service sends updates about your local area directly from the police officers themselves.
My Community Voice is more than just a messaging service; it allows you to reply to the alerts we send you, share information and tell us about the issues affecting you.
We are committed to engaging with communities to increase trust and confidence and to help protect people from harm. Police, partners and the public working together can build resilient and safe communities, and both reduce and prevent crime.
You will be able to play an active part in police appeals as well as keeping updated in what is happening in your local area.
