Like most Medway residents, Medway Liberal Democrats were disappointed by the announcement by Conservative Council Cllr Leader Jarrett that he intends to end the much needed and supported 'No Mow May' campaign setup by Plant Life.

'Delays, Demolishing and Doubt' say Medway Liberal Democrats

Medway Council have announced that the fate of Splashes Leisure centre will be decided at a Cabinet on the 8th June. During this meeting the cabinet will be asked to support the demolishing of the centre. Yet what is strikingly missing from the announcement is an official agreement to rebuild a leisure facility in its place. Their statement has no timeframe, no funding and no guarantee it will happen.
