'Gaps in Medway Council’s Climate Change Plan' - Say the Liberal Democrats

A recent assessment undertaken by Climate Emergency UK of every council's climate change plan has shown serious gaps in Medway Council's own plans. Using public documents, they assessed each council against 28 questions, based on criteria set out by experts in the relevant fields. These scores were then compared to other local authorities and a percentage rank given. In our case Medway Council received an overall ranking of 71% (with 50% being the average score).

'Medway Council thinks the climate emergency is not an emergency' - Say local Liberal Democrats

Medway Liberal Democrats are shocked but unsurprised by Council Leader Alan Jarrett's comments at January's full council meeting. He failed to mention the climate emergency in his speech, when pressed on its absence, he said 'Putting [climate change measures] in place, it's not like flipping a switch, it's going to be a long process.' This is another example of this Conservative administration not giving the climate emergency the priority it needs.

'Liberal Democrats are calling for a rail service to the Isle of Grain'

Liberal Democrats believe that there is a strong case for re-introducing a rail passenger service to Grain on the Hoo Peninsula. Currently, travel time from the Peninsula to Medway's urban areas and beyond is only accessible by car, contributing to pollution and road congestion. Why not offer the opportunity for those who live in the nearby villages to board and leave the trains local to where they live by the extension of passenger services to Grain and the villages in-between.
