25,000 is an huge number. Serious issues will be with transportation. If Network Rail have bus replacement due to engineering work, it would cause severe problems. Parking if possible on the lines would be restricted even 2000 cars would take a big space and if the weather is poor, it will cause a complete mess. The residential type roads are already at capacity throughout Medway (you need to look beyond the immediate perimeter roads). Medway Hospital is adjacent and can only accessed via the same residential roads.
Maidstone at Mote Park is different as they have internal roads and better suited to such events as is Detling.
Armed Forces Days aren’t so bad as the event attracts people throughout the day rather than all at once in the evening depending how many performers there are.
Unfortunately the type of music being played will affect the type of people. New Day near Faversham with Prog Rock is different to a Hip Hop Gangsta Rap, as is Rambling Man Rock Music or Sweden Rock … the genre affects the audience.

@Ed & Steve: Are you planning another all-party hustings for the local elections?
We can’t commit to anything for certain right now but we’re definitely looking at what we can do ahead of the election.
