Responding to the news that Nigel Farage's Brexit Party will not be standing a candidate in Medway, Graham Colley, Liberal Democrat Candidate for Rochester and Strood said:
Thousands of EU nationals living in Medway have not been offered permanent residency in the UK, official figures have revealed. The Liberal Democrats have accused the government of leaving local families from the EU in "legal limbo" and throwing people's lives into uncertainty.
The series of attacks on Chatham Memorial Synagogue in Kent in the run up to Rosh Hashanah, has left the whole community shocked. The Synagogue has been marred by anti-social behaviour over the past two years with recent attacks seeing the front door covered in excrement and the desecration of its cemetery.
Liberal Democrats are concerned about Medway Council's planned £205,000 spend, bidding for UK City of Culture 2025. The Council passed a motion in September to invest £205,000 over two years to funding a Bid Team with the money coming from council reserves, with an £150,000 of external investment to back the bid.
Liberal Democrats believe that the closure of Lloyds Bank in Rainham next month, could significantly impact nearby businesses. The bank attracts customers to the area and the closure could result in fewer people coming into the High Street.
Medway Liberal Democrats are pleased to announce that Graham Colley will be the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Rochester and Strood at the next General Election.
