River Darent Improvements Feasibility Study

Dartford Borough Council is seeking a feasibility study for riverside improvements along a designated stretch of the River Darent, a protected chalk stream. The study area includes Bridge House Gardens, St Saviour's Walk, and the corridor between Hanau Bridge and Mill Pond Road. The project builds on the Lower Darent Riverside Strategy and aims to create an exemplar riverside scheme that improves public access, enhances environmental quality, and strengthens connections between the river, town centre, and local communities. Suppliers should be prepared to conduct site surveys, assess environmental conditions, evaluate feasibility options, and develop recommendations for physical improvements and community engagement strategies.
