Alan Bullion, Candidate for Rainham & Gillingham, Promises to Protect Our Orchards
Alan Bullion, Liberal Democrat Candidate for Rainham and Gillingham has pledged to oppose any planning application put forward to Medway Council to build 1,250 residential units on orchards located in Lower Rainham, which if goes ahead, would destroy Grade 1 agricultural land off Pump Lane. Alan said "We believe this would obliterate an area of locally valued landscape and therefore is completely incompatible with the aims of sustainable development. Medway's rural heritage in this area will be lost and can never be recovered if this development goes ahead. As with Capstone Valley and Riverside Country Park, these spaces are a vital asset for everyone.
