close to home.

Rooted in Medway. Interested in the wider picture.

My local community

Medway.
A place to call home.

Medway is where I live and where many of my interests in community life and local issues take shape. From the future of our high streets to housing, infrastructure and public services, I believe local experiences are an important part of understanding the challenges facing the country.

Living here gives those questions a personal context, while keeping the connection to the wider country in view.

Connected questions

Beyond Medway

The challenges facing local communities often connect to wider national questions. Technology, economic opportunity and the way public services operate reach across local boundaries.

Medway is the starting point for my perspective, with an interest in what we can learn from experiences elsewhere.
