Reform UK is outsourcing control of KCC to party bosses in London—bypassing elected councillors and threatening staff. This isn't local democracy. Kent deserves better. Read Cllr Geoffrey Samme's full statement here #KentDeservesBetter #LibDems #KCC
Ray Yorke was a lifelong Liberal Democrat, local government planner, and tireless community organiser. Quietly effective and deeply dependable, he shaped policy, supported campaigns, and gave decades of faithful service to his party, town, and friends.
Cllr Brian Clark has been a dedicated public servant since 2013 and brings both experience and energy to this important role.
Congratulations to Geoff Samme, newly elected Lib Dem County Councillor for Maidstone North East. He will join the official opposition at County Hall, continuing the strong legacy of Ian Chittenden
Despite renewed discussion, the road was ruled out by the Government’s Inspector and excluded from Maidstone’s adopted Local Plan. With no KCC support or funding, the proposal remains unviable and unsustainable.
Lib Dems opposed the flawed Conservative Local Plan—now it's unravelling. Risky large sites stall, housing targets slip, and green spaces are under threat. We're acting fast to protect Maidstone’s countryside, including the Greensand Ridge.
