The Medway Leaders’ Debate
We are pleased to present a head to head debate between the potential future leaders of Medway Council ahead of the local elections in May.
On April 18 at Midkent College, we’ll be asking Alan Jarrett of the Conservatives and Vince Maple of Labour a range of questions covering the important issues in Medway – housing, education, health, the environment, and so much more.
This is about the future of Medway, and we would love for you to join us.
By booking a ticket – either free or with an optional donation – you will have the ability to submit a question for the leaders. We can’t guarantee we’ll ask them all, but we will be selecting as broad a cross-section of them possible ahead of the event.
Booking a ticket also ensures entry to the event. Those without tickets will likely be able to attend on the night, space permitting, but will not be eligible to submit questions for the leaders.
Tickets are free, but you do have the option of contributing an optional donation when booking. This helps us cover the costs of putting on the event, and all donations are gratefully received.
Doors at 7pm, event start at 7.30pm, close at 9pm.
We hope to see you there!
