Kelly Tolhurst, MP for Rochester & Strood joins the fight to help campaigners on the peninsula to stop the sale of Deangate Ridge Golf Course. Kelly can be seen here on KMTV arguing her point.
Chairman of High Halstow Parish Council, George Crozer was interviewed by KMTV and gave his honest thoughts on the position we find ourselves here on the peninsula.
Councillor Doe also gave an interview on KMTV on the closure but omitted to explain that the Council had not been maintaining the course in the past few years thus leading to this decision.

Message from George Crozer, High Halstow Parish Chairman
Thank you to everyone that came to Deangate Ridge on Saturday. It was fitting that a large number of us (circa 200 did someone count?) were children. This is all about them and their future. The next big opportunity for us to collectively shout loudly will be on Tuesday at 4.15pm at the Council offices Gun Wharf. Ron Sands, Hoo Parish Council, has organised a coach to take people in and bring them back. The coach will leave the village Hall in Hoo around 15.40 pm If you have transport and are prepared to take someone please start your journey from the Village Hall at around 15.40pm too George. Any problems call me 07711 432598
Dear Cllr Jarrett and Members of the Cabinet
It is with great anger that the people of the Hoo Peninsula have learnt of the proposed closure of Deangate Ridge Golf Course on 31 March 2018, to be decided by Medway Council’s Cabinet on 6 February (Gun Wharf, 5.00pm). We have also seen the proposal by your Assets Department on your website that it be sold to make way for 1,600 houses.
You are due to consult the people of Medway on your new draft Local Plan from 16 March-11 May this year, details of which are not yet published nor, we understand, available to councillors. It therefore seems wholly inappropriate that the fate of such a major, public-owned resource should be determined immediately prior to this defining consultation for Medway. We are left to presume that development of the golf course does indeed figure strongly in your housing plans, and that seeking to close it prior to the public consultation is no accident of timing but a way of sealing its fate prior to us having our say.
We are therefore urging all members of Cabinet, as a matter of democracy, to delay any decision about the golf course and to allow it to remain open until the public has had a chance to see and comment on the draft Local Plan. Surely we, the people of Medway, deserve to have the chance to offer our views on how a valuable asset that we effectively own might feature in our future?
Yours sincerely
George Crozer
Chair, High Halstow Parish Council
John Tildesley
Chair, Hoo St Werburgh Parish Council

Medway Council is asking residents what they think about the air quality in Medway. Do you think it’s good? Or does it affect you or your family and if so, what could be done to improve it?

The survey takes 5 minutes to finish and as a thank you for completing the survey, all respondents will be entered into a draw to win one of two £25 love2shop vouchers.
All your answers will be confidential and any names and email addresses provided as part of the draw or for requesting further information, will be separated from the survey answers.

Strood Library 12.30pm – 2.30pm
Hoo Library 3pm – 4pm
Air quality – the background
Clean air is important for our health and for the environment. Urban air pollution has a long history and in the past has generally been caused by industrial and domestic sources. Today, the biggest source of air pollution in the UK is from road traffic and this is the case in Medway.
The assessment of local air quality has shown that in Medway levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are above the health-based objectives set out by the Government. Therefore, Medway Council declared three Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in 2010:
Medway has published its proposed measures to improve local air quality.
The Air Quality Action Plan outlines a number of measures aimed at improving local air quality by reducing levels of nitrogen dioxide to acceptable levels.
These are:
The Air Quality Action was formally adopted by Cabinet on 15 December 2015.
