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.
An online petition to “Save Deangate Ridge” has been signed over 3000 times by the public since Thursday 1 February 2018. The number of signatories continues to rise and final figure was emailed to all members of the Cabinet the morning of the Cabinet meeting.

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
