Thank you for your patience while our lifts were being repaired.

Unfortunately, the lifts were recently vandalised, which caused them to be taken out of service while essential repairs were carried out. We understand the inconvenience this caused and appreciate your understanding during this time.

We are pleased to confirm that the repairs have now been completed and the lifts are back in operation.

Great to see the works continuing with local small businesses here in the town centre making use of the UKSPF Shopfront Improvement Grants - we ran two, over subscribed schemes, in 2024/25 and 2025/26 - the latter scheme closes at the end of September.

The Panic Room - Gravesend used their funds to create and install new signage on the Entertainment Centre - which can be found within the St Georges Shopping Centre and this week The Mug and Meeple (Town Pier Gravesend) are carefully renovating, restoring and repainting the exterior of their premises - protected as a Grade II listed building due to its architectural and historical significance to the Gravesend riverside - so its great that this scheme could help fund these makeovers, both ancient and modern.
