Lucky enough to win tickets to visit Knole for the Kent Big Weekend and had a great time Visit Kent National Trust #KentBigWeekend

Great morning out on the #LabourDoorstep in Deptford for Sadiq Khan and David Walker with Medway Labour & Co-operative Group 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦 and Lewisham Labour friends

Pleased to support The Labour Party's campaign with Co-operative Party and UsdawUnion to make our high streets in Rochester and Strood safer places to live, work and shop. More police, thefts properly investigated, and a new criminal offence for assaulting a retail worker #endretailcrime

It was good to sit down with Steven Keevil

A pleasure to attend Swan Lake alongside students, including those from Abbey Court School, & fellow The Labour Party Parliamentary Candidates. Keir Starmer said he wants every child to 'fall in love with the arts' and Royal Opera House is doing a great job reaching out to young people.

It’s now full speed ahead on our plans to deliver an exciting new co-working space at the Pentagon Centre in Chatham to support businesses in Medway. Read more in my blog below 👇

In this week's #OneMinuteMedway , Cllr Lauren Edwards speaks about:

🤝 The first Medway Business and Skills Showcase event - orlo.uk/vSj2I
🙌 The Docking Station receiving more than £3.5m funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund - orlo.uk/dVlPA

Excited to be shortly launching this year's Shared Prosperity Fund, building on last year's hugely successful programme of events and support for Medway's community groups, charities and local businesses. To find out more, come to our launch event in Rochester on 1 May 👇

Pleased that the Solar Together scheme is now open until the end of May. This is a fantastic Kent-wide initiative that Medway Council is participating in, helping households and businesses to reduce their energy bills and tackle climate change.

Great to see invitations to be part of the third Chatham Carnival on 6th July 2024 go out. It's a fantastic community event that brings everyone together. More information on how to have a stall, be part of the parade, or be on the stage at nucleusarts.com/chatham-carniv…

Sure Start worked. It had big long term effects on the educational achievement of poor children. Its demise is a study in policy failure - over centralisation, over extension, poor data, 'not invented here syndrome'. thetimes.co.uk/article/sure-s…

NEWS: Medway Council is seeking an urgent meeting with the government to discuss the challenges of maintaining the road network and tackling the growing number of potholes. Read more 👉 orlo.uk/jMFjp

Today Simon Curry & I have written to the Minister for Road on the issue of Medway road conditions.

The bill to bring the roads up to a reasonable standard would be around £50 Million.

The 91% reduction in revenue support grant since 2010 means Medway needs the right resources.

For too long, Rishi Sunak has allowed tax dodgers to avoid paying what they owe while our NHS crumbles.

My Labour government, with Rachel Reeves as Chancellor, won't stand for it.

We will take on the tax dodgers to fund our NHS.

Great weekend out on the #LabourDoorstep in Rochester & Strood 🌹

Great to see Medway Council in this list of “101 Achievements of Labour in Power”, thanks to our work with FSB Kent supporting businesses through the Local Leadership Pledge.

New images have been released of a flagship riverside project featuring nearly 200 new homes overlooking a castle and cathedral. Read more here 👇
