Let's See What The Tories Do Now
Considering the lack of regard shown to the residents of Rochester East by our dear Tory council it will be interesting to see how they react to a petition delivered to them from the residents surrounding the Cornwall Road allotments.
This petition supports the notion of seeing the land developed into a green open space and was delivered by Reh Chishti, in who's Gillingham North ward the allotments are located.
Credit where credit's due. Well done Reh for actually listening to your constituents and wanting to help. I hope your powers of persuasion can overide your Tory chum Cllr Jarrett's money-grabbing default setting. There's a conversation I would really like to be a fly on a wall for.
But Reh has long been critical of the council and its treatment of people in Gillingham. However, that was when he was a Labour councillor. Sincing crossing the floor, he's pretty much rolled-over like a good boy.
I hope he sticks to his guns on this one - for the people who voted him in to represent them.
With Conservative councillors suggesting Teresa Murray and Nick Bowler's opposition to the selling of Copperfield as "political pointing scoring" - let's see how they handle this.
Not wishing to appear cynical - with the elections just round the corner maybe the Tory council will listen to their colleague more favourably, or put off a decision until after May 2007. We will be watching closely.
Until then, I wish the residents around the Cornwall Road allotments every success in their campaign.
