David Naghi- Chatham and Aylesford David has lived and worked locally for over 50 years and has brought up three children. He has a 93-year old mother so understands the challenges of all aspects and ages of society. The NHS requires more funding and pressure needs to be relieved within social care, and mental health, including how carers can be better supported in their invaluable role looking after family and friends. David's been active in the community for his whole life, in youth, charities and local events. He's been an elected Lib Dem councillor for the last 17 years, helping to resolve peoples' local issues. A focus would be new infrastructure, particularly with the pressure on new housing, to relieve traffic congestion, reduce poor air quality, to protect green spaces in our Climate Crisis fight. David hopes to represent constituents' wide and varied interests as a strong voice for them in Westminster.
Change the direction of our country, join the fastest growing party in Britain The Conservative administration in Medway is running out of new ideas. The Conservative government is failing deliver its promises and is paralysed by Brexit. In Medway we believe that better is possible by delivering the housing that is needed, affordable homes to own and rent including adequate levels of social housing. We believe that job security is threatened by mishandling Brexit negotiations. The High Streets in the Towns are under threat, with a backdrop of homelessness and boarded up stores, the character of the High Streets need attention and a vision that works for local businesses, groups and individuals. The Liberal Democrats have a vision for the future based around opportunity for everybody and creating opportunities for individuals in business. We demand better at the local level and the national level and we want to see a change of direction.
