Great bright sunny morning for #RochesterSweepsFestival and we’re nearly off to the great big start! Welcome everyone! Wonderful Medway awaits you!

Statement on the passing of Alderman Paul Harriott

I am deeply saddened to hear the passing of Alderman Paul Harriott

Paul served the people of Twydall for 52 years on Gillingham & Medway Councils.

His passion for housing was second to none.

My thoughts are with Dorte, his friends and family at this most difficult time

Labour gain Adur. Phenomenal result. The final Tory council in Sussex falls.

After today, the Tories have gone from 29 councils in the South East to 7, in just three years.

Huge congratulations to Arches Local @archesgroup for an outstanding referendum result with what I think is the first urban neighbourhood plan not only in Kent but the South East

Yes - 727
No - 101

Use your voice to send Rishi Sunak and the Tories a message – the change we need starts today.

Change only comes if you vote for it. Get up and vote Labour today.

Cabinet member Lauren Edwards is addressing the ‘sell out’ Shared Prosperity Fund round three launch event. Last year’s funding helped the people of Medway run fantastic events and schemes - putting the power to deliver for their communities straight into people’s hands.

From all members of Medway Labour past and present, a big thank you and congratulations to Sue - the face of Medway Council on her retirement.

Here is what we are doing to turn the tide on health inequality across Medway

No worker should go to work and not come home. Today on Workers Memorial Day we reflect and remember those who we have lost, as well as refresh our mission to ensure that lives aren't lost during the course of the working day.

This week's #OneMinuteMedway is very special - hear from Cllr Teresa Murray and Jayne Black, Chief Executive of Medway NHS Foundation Trust, following the Freedom of Medway being awarded to the Trust on behalf staff at Medway Maritime Hospital 💙

Thanks to a Labour & Co-operative Council, Trade Unions andHR professionals - over 1.8k people working for and living in Medway - one of the areas biggest employers today received a 5% pay increase in their wages.

A real privilege to address the Workers Memorial Day service in Medway.

The tree & stone in Rochester Castle Gardens is a permanent powerful reminder for all those gone too soon.

Thanks to Medway Council & UNISON - UK's largest union for arranging today.

Great to see some much needed major repairs to Chatham Hill following winter deterioration.

Pot holes and roads which have been allowed to deteriorate to dangerous conditions is a nationwide problem.

Whilst cuts to local government make it difficult to keep up with an ever growing list of repairs we are working to keep traffic moving.

After 8 years of the Conservative PCC who has cut PCSOs , support staff & special constables, & overseen increasing anti-social behaviour I’m standing to bring the change that Kent & Medway needs.

On 2nd May Vote Lenny Rolles for Kent Police & Crime Commissioner, #VoteLabour
