London Borough of Dartford and Gravesham

This proposed Borough is made up from an amalgamation of the Kentish districts of Dartford and Gravesham as well as a sliver of Sevenoaks district mostly parts inside the M25. In the pictures below I show two different possible boundaries for this proposed district the first includes the whole of Dartford and Gravesham districts and so includes a number of large villages. The second restricts the boundary somewhat, to only the most urban parts i.e. mainly just Dartford, Gravesend and the bits inside the M25. There is still a part of the M25 outside my new Greater London boundary I will annex this part to adjacent existing London Boroughs. I estimate the population of what is in the first picture to be 220,000 and the second 180,000.



Towns and Villages included in the Borough:

In Both Pictures: Swanley, Hextable, Gravesend, Dartford, Swanscombe, Northfleet
Only in Picture 1: Higham, Meopham, Hartley, Longfield, New Ash Green, South Darenth, Istead Rise

Notable things about the area:

Bluewater shopping centre.
The Dartford Crossing and Tunnel.
On the Thames Estuary.
The proposed Theme Park of Paramount Kent.
Ebbsfleet International Railway Station.
Ebbsfleet Valley New Town.
