LIB DEMS MANIFESTO

Liberal Democrats increase vote share in Medway Towns

Liberal Democrats had a sizeable increase in vote share in the Medway Towns. Across Medway Liberal Democrats increased the local vote by 5% (more than the South East regional average). All 3 Candidates (Graham Colley, standing for Rochester and Strood, Alan Bullion standing for Rainham and Gillingham and David Naghi standing for Chatham and Aylesford) retained our deposits and finished 3rd in all 3 seats in the Medway Towns, we had our largest vote share in Rochester and Strood. John Castle, spokesperson for Medway Liberal Democrats said "After 10 years in opposition, Labour have been soundly rejected by voters both locally here in Medway and nationally. This is their worst election result in living memory.

"Liberal Democrats will oppose revived ‘Boris Island’ airport  plan" says Alan Bullion

In response to speculation that Boris Johnson might try to revive the failed 'Boris Island' airport project in the Thames Estuary, Gillingham and Rainham Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate Alan Bullion said. 'I spoke up against the potential destruction of farmland and bird and wildlife sanctuaries on the peninsula in 2014 during the Euro election at a public meeting organised by the RSPB and Kent Wildlife Trust. We will continue to oppose any such move at all costs in order to protect our precious Kent countryside and its food production and rare species."

Liberal Democrat investment will help transform mental health services in Medway

The Liberal Democrats will invest £11 billion in transforming mental health services, more than either Labour or the Tories. in early 2018, Medway Liberal Democrats launched a campaign highlighting the lack of local mental Health service, particularly the issue of referring patients out of area, as a consequence of closing the Mental Health Unit at Medway Maritime Hospital in 2013. We collected over 1200 signatures to our petition, which was handed in to the Department of Health. We believe that with a population of 270,000 people, Medway is big enough that its Health Trust should be able to provide these services to local people.
