Who can take part in the commission's work?
Anyone with an interest in Kent and Medway's shared spaces can take part, including residents, local groups, and partner organisations.
What does getting involved usually look like?
You might join a local conversation, respond to a call for ideas, attend a workshop, or share feedback on project priorities.
How will I hear about updates after I contribute?
We share updates through the website and participation communications so you can see progress, next steps, and where your input has informed decisions.
What kinds of input are most useful?
Practical local knowledge is especially valuable: what works well, what creates barriers, and ideas that could improve everyday use of public space.
Can organisations or community groups participate too?
Yes. We welcome input from organisations, schools, businesses, and civic partners where it supports shared public benefit and place-based improvement.
