'Stop Sewage Dumping Now'– say Medway Liberal Democrats

The sewage scandal has been one of the biggest issues of the past 18 months. Wanting clean rivers and beaches is an issue that really resonates with people in Medway. In 2021 alone there were over recorded 466,000 sewage overspills into UK rivers - constituting almost 3.5 million hours of sewage discharge into our rivers. Recent studies by the River's Trust have found that only 14% of UK rivers are in good ecological health, and none are in good overall health.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities falls on the 3rd of December each year, with the aim of promoting empowerment, and helping to create real opportunities for people with disabilities. This enhances their own capacities and supports them in setting their own priorities. The theme this year is "Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world". As we mark the day, one billion people around the world live with a disability - that's roughly 15% of the global population.

'We are calling for action now, to improve people's access to  Medway GPs' - say local Lib Dems

Liberal Democrats call on the Government to take action to improve people's access to GPs and get urgent appointments. Far too many people in our towns' are struggling to get a GP appointment when they need one, leaving them waiting anxiously for the care they deserve. In September alone, nationally 8.9 million GP appointments involved a wait of more than a week, with 5 million waiting longer than the Government's own target of two weeks.
