What are your thoughts about Medway’s MPs and their performance in Parliament?
Does Rehman speak to exactly 35% Remain voters every week in his constituency? Or just when he needs a stat to quote? https://t.co/4fJnPGUpBt

#Poll Thurs 24th Jan will be Medway’s first Full Council of 2019. How long will it take #VoiceofTheCouncil Cllr Alan Jarrett to accuse #VoiceOfTheOpposition Cllr @vincemaple of being anti-Medway / Talking Medway down?

This will be the sixth time Viv Parker has fought for Rochester South & Horsted, which has to be some kind of record for number of attempts at a seat without ever winning it.

This from @PaulOnPolitics seems pretty big. Have Medway Council been following this advice? https://t.co/L10GqwL6oA

It is with the heaviest of hearts that Medway Conservatives pay tribute to our dear friend and colleague Councillor David Carr @CllrDavidCarr. Our thoughts are with his wife, Kirstine, their children and the rest of his family. We will miss him greatly. https://t.co/XlLiaVbkL3

As part of our series highlighting the serial incompetence of @MedwayTories leader on the issue of planning ahead for Brexit. This today is a report on how schools across Kent including Gravesend and Dartford may be impacted pic.twitter.com/ywS4xQK95i

This impacts thousands of Medway residents and commuters and the @Conservatives have ignored you. https://t.co/Kpn0hQ6Z6K

With the need to act on the #ClimateEmergency more urgent than ever, wouldn't it be great if @medway_council had £4.4m to spend on green infrastructure to benefit all rather than an aviation facility that will increase emissions and benefit just a few? https://t.co/UOFAjfmUai

— Medway Green Party (@medwaygreens) January 23, 2019

Great news in Lambeth!
Would @medway_council consider doing something similar? How about it @MedwayTories and @MedwayLabour – put your differences aside and recognise the #ClimateEmergency ! https://t.co/9mUvvFDlUN

We're reformatting our tables across the site, making them (hopefully) easier to read, particularly when they run into more than one line on mobile devices. This will be included in our next update (roll out date TBC). pic.twitter.com/iEbkH6U7Iw

At Medway Council delighted to join the Leader of @medway_council Cllr Alan Jarrett in welcoming Naval officers from newly commissioned HMS Medway. Terrific news that the local authority has conferred honorary freedom of the borough to HMS Medway. @RoyalNavy pic.twitter.com/pIUjzuSINR
