Dartford

Historic Dartford has attracted multi-million pound investment.

Dartford is on-track to become a rejuvenated and vibrant place to live, work and enjoy, and is fast restoring its reputation as a major retail and leisure centre in Kent.

Well-connected. Strategically located, it is a short distance from the M25, A2 and M2. Good public transport links with Central London, it's only 40 minutes away by rail whilst new Fastrack buses connect the town with Bluewater.

Sustainable investment. New mixed-use development at The Bridge to the north of Dartford and the success of Crossways Business Park in attracting international companies are all contributing to the sustained transformation of the area.

New developments. Planned around the railway station and at the southern end of the town centre. The award-winning Fastrack bus service will be extended to the new Ebbsfleet International.

"The Government has been working very closely with us through the strategic partnership along with the South East England Development Agency to develop particularly the town centre and the skills regeneration within the area." Graham Harris, Chief Executive, Dartford Borough Council.
