Well said. It’s easy to stand on the sidelines, complaining about the state of things, laying the blame on other people, and waving a flag like it’s some sort of solution. Meanwhile true patriots are rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into the problems and finding solutions.
A good statement by the MP for Gillingham and Rainham who has made a demonstrable improvement to Gillingham especially. It's good to see the issue of HMOs raised and this needs pursuing. All HMOs should need planning permission as admitting (at least) 6 more residents to a previously single occupied house creates multiple pressures on a residential area. And yes, Medway Council should issue an Article 4 directive to stop HMOs in Conservation Areas. Nashaburah Khan should also help close down Anchorage House: not just because it is mostly out of borough residents. It is a single aspect, old office block with no amenity space. It has no planning permission and allowed under permitted development rights. This is egregious legislation which should be abolished as part of a humane approach to housing.

Much better attitude from Kent Police and KCC: https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/council-won-t-remove-flags-flown-across-kent-329138/
