Sunday 7 April 2019

A circular walk from East Malling. 

Over a million marched in London; Over 5 million signed the petition (so far...) 

This weekend we marched. We marched together with people from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern-Ireland. Brits in Europe. Europeans in Britain. Expats and Migrants. Young and old. As disparate a group as you could imagine, brought together as Europeans wanting to remain European. Will the march be remembered as the highpoint in an unsuccessful campaign, or the turning point in our European destiny?

Richard Morris - the Liberal Democrat's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Tonbridge and Malling - responded to the Liberal Democrats York Conference Motion F6 on the subject of Europe and Brexit.

Despite being the coldest night of the year, Members of Tonbridge and Malling Liberal Democrats braved sub-zero temperatures for our regular Politics and Pint evening in the warmth of the Chequers bar in Tonbridge.
Chairman David Thornewell introduced Richard Morris - our new Prospective Parliamentary Candidate - to the group, kicking off a lively discussion of Westminster, European and local issues. 

The draft Local Plan as approved by the full Borough Council on 12^th September 2018 was delivered to the Planning Inspectorate in Bristol on 23^rd January 2019 together with all the representations they received during this last public consultation phase.  This will have included additional ones made by landowners and developers seeking new housing sites as at Kingshill.
