Proposed housing development in Lidsing

Rehman Chishti Excerpts

Wednesday 9th December 2020 Commons Chamber

[Rehman Chishti (Gillingham and Rainham) (Con)]

I rise to present a petition to the House of Commons from the residents of Gillingham and Rainham.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of the constituency of Gillingham and Rainham,

Declares that the proposal in Maidstone Borough Council’s Local Plan Review for up to 2,000 homes at Lidsing, which borders Hempstead in the constituency of Gillingham and Rainham, would negatively impact local infrastructure and green spaces; and further that the building of this proposal would be detrimental to road capacity, school place availability and local GP services for the local residents of Hempstead and the surrounding areas.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to take into account the concerns of the petitioners and take action to ensure that the 2,000 home Lidsing proposal in Maidstone Borough Council’s Plan does not go ahead.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
