Local information

Gardening in Gravesham

Gravesham covers Gravesend and Northfleet on the Thames, plus Meopham, Vigo and the Cobham villages. The borough council sells a 240 litre garden bin for £65 a year, or paper sacks. There is no Kent County Council tip inside the borough, so residents use Pepperhill near Southfleet. Every visit there has to be booked in advance online or by phone.1 2 3
