Clear Air for Medway

'A Small Victory in Our Battle to Clean up Medway’s Air' - say local Lib Dems

Medway Liberal Democrats are pleasantly surprised to see that Medway council has been awarded funding to study how they can clean up its incredibility polluted air. We have been campaigning against air pollution for a long time and we recently launched our 'Clean Air For Medway' on the 17th June 2021. So we are glad that our campaigning has caused the Conservative administration to finally wake up to this issue, those sadly after allowing parts of Medway to have some of the worse air pollution in Kent.

 '17,968 pensioners in Rochester and Strood left out in the cold as broken triple lock promise creates £388,109 cost of living black hole' say Medway Liberal Democrats

The Liberal Democrats have accused the Conservatives of leaving pensioners in Rochester and Strood with a "hole in their pocket" after breaking a manifesto promise to protect the state pension. In the wake of inflation hitting a thirty year high of 5.5% in January, a typical pensioner in Rochester and Strood is set to see their income fall by £171.60 this year in real terms. This is a total loss of income of £3,080,89 between 17,968 pensioners in Rochester and Strood due to the Conservative government's decision to break a key manifesto promise and scrap the triple lock on pensions.
