Our focus at the moment is to give all the support we can to Kelly Tolhurst, our local Conservative candidate for Rochester & Strood.
Kelly's 6 point plan is below - come and help Kelly to win and to put the plan into action!
KELLY'S 6-POINT PLAN FOR ROCHESTER & STROOD
1. Action – not just talk – on immigration
Uncontrolled immigration is hurting this area - it needs to be addressed now. I’ll use my position to go straight to the Prime Minister and demand something is done. Locally I’ll fight to stop migrants accessing social housing until they've lived here for 5 years and made a contribution – and get it done now.
2. Medway Hospital out of Special Measures
With our next door MPs I’ll bring hospital staff and the national government together to get Medway Hospital out of special measures as soon as possible – that hospital saved my life last year and the people there deserve our best efforts.
3. Safer streets
More police officers out on Friday and Saturday nights to reduce crime and the alcohol-related problems on Chatham High St, and other areas around the constituency – people should be able to feel safe in their own town.
4. Housing development that works for us
Get the extra housing we need, but keep fighting to have the Lodge Hill development on the Hoo Peninsula stopped – we can’t just build anywhere without thinking about the environment, or whether there are the services to support it.
5. More of the jobs and infrastructure the community needs
Keep business rates and taxes low, back the Rochester Riverside Development and work to a proper solution to the traffic issues on the Medway City Estate – it all supports local jobs and will make life easier for us here.
6. Better local schools
Fight for more funding to improve our schools, because The Pilgrim in Borstal, Hoo Primary and St Margarets at Troy are full – parents should have some choice when deciding on their children’s education.
