Faversham Town Council and Swale District Council jointly commissioned Design South East to organise a design workshop (charrette) on the future of Faversham in October 2016. The workshop was carried out over 2 days, with targeted sessions
aimed at ensuring that many stakeholders in the town could input into the process, and developed principles and proposals to make the most of Faversham’s growth. The principles are to be applied to new developments in the town to ensure that they are well connected, support the town centre, integrate green space and water courses and respond to local character. The proposals were for new initiatives to improve walking and cycling, transform the A2 road through the town so it was no longer a barrier to
movement and reduce traffic speeds.
