The agenda for next week's full #MedwayCouncil is meeting and it's so long there's a good chance we will all still be sitting there on election day: https://t.co/YY44olKaX7

Worth keeping this in mind. Tellers outside the polling station are only there you make life easier for political parties. You do not need to engage with them. https://t.co/GncwKcX8vc

#Parking is parking, and #Medway #Tories have delivered huge pay and display price hikes, scrapped the visitors permits (costing some residents over £700 a year extra for equivalent service), and doubled cost of daily tickets.

Voting Green on May 2nd can really make a difference. A clear message to our politicians we want a new way of doing things. A way that has the environment and well-being of all people at it's heart. See what our Peninsula candidates have to say…. #MedwayElects19 #VoteGreen pic.twitter.com/DD6tGBaUKg
