Exactly one year ago right now I was on KMTV with the Medway Conservative Leader
We didn’t know what would be the outcome but the exit poll gave us a good idea!
Proud of the great work Tris, Naushabah & Lauren have done in the past year

Thanks to everyone who made the 11th Kent and Medway Civilian-Military Covenant Conference a success.
Special thanks to Canon Peter Bruinvels for his unstoppable energy and dedication.
As I often say the armed forces are in the DNA of Medway and long may that continue.
