The old funding model left Medway, under real pressure
Now the Government is fixing that with a fairer system that focuses on local needs & tackles deprivation
This is our chance to secure the funding our community deserves. I’m fighting hard to make sure our voice is heard loud & clear

❗I don’t oppose the existence of #HMOs. They play a vital role in #housing students, key workers, and professionals priced out of other options.
👉🏾But when too many pop up too fast in one area, without thought for #community balance, issues follow. And people are right to be concerned.

The conversation about immigration has taken a sinister turn. It’s no longer just about policy; it’s about race.
I won’t stand for it. We can’t let hate and division decide who belongs in Britain. This country is stronger, kinder, and better than that 🇬🇧 #immigration #race #sarahpochin #british
