That's a very sensible suggestion! There is actually a local mall, but I try to avoid it - Chatham town centre is pretty soulless, and even if I had disabled tags right now, which for various reasons I don't, it often takes 1/2 hour to find a space in the disabled parking.
If I was to drive out to find somewhere for a walk, I'd far rather go over to Rochester, park next to the Norman cathedral, walk past the Norman castle, and get a coffee in my favourite coffee shop on our Dickensian High Street, even if it does mean walking outdoors. And it might be a mile further, but I can probably get parked quicker.
Guess which of our of town centres (we actually have four) I prefer!
