Chilmington Management Organisation

This significant scale of community assets requires a sustainable stewardship model to ensure that long term maintenance and management of these facilities are safeguarded for present and future generations.

In supporting Garden City principles it is important to provide a vibrant, cohesive and sustainable community; so it was felt that a community management approach was the best way to achieve this. The Chilmington Management Organisation (CMO) is a not for profit company dedicated to the residents of Chilmington Green, responsible for both estate management and community development. The CMO will look after areas of public open space, such as landscaping and community buildings, as well as having a remit to commission and implement community projects.
