#MBC and its commercial arm has produced another glossy sales brochure for its committees & planning authority - But for SOHL nothing changes as the project remains unrealistic, unviable and unsustainable. https://t.co/EzMfMZlfJl

@MaidstoneLibDem Will @MaidstoneLibDem respect the Lenham Neighbourhood Plan that was supported by 92% of residents, makes provision for over 1,000 new homes over the next ten years but specifically protects our countryside from over-development such as the @maidstonebc Heathlands ‘new town’?

Cllr Janetta Sams - Independent - has been elected as Borough Councillor for Harrietsham & Lenham ward in Maidstone with 1,439 votes.

Thanks to all the drivers on the A20 who hooted in support of our objections to the daft plan for a new town at #LenhamHeath during the @maidstonebc & @HomesEngland "consultation" (which had to be organised by @SOHeathLands in #Lenham last night after MBC's own poor attempts)

The Sunday Times @thetimes has published a shorter version of our letter, in which we challenge the 'build build, build' method of solving the affordability crisis - as advocated by developers - there's a surprise!

Heathlands "garden village" featured on BBC news tonight @SOHeathLands No mention of the @maidstonebc shenanigans, the "lost" M20 junction, the "fantasy" station or the AONB. Or, crucially, that the 5 landowners haven't agreed to sell and 3 have definitely said they won't!

Alert! Alert! Don't let Maidstone Borough Council get away with turning Lenham into the dumping ground for all their housing problems.

Heathlands is officially a proposed ‘cowpat development’.

[Save Our Heath Lands (SOHL) 🍃💚🍃 @SOHeathLands]

Confirmed tonight that @maidstonebc have called in PR experts @WeAreFabrick to manage the failing Heathlands project. They are experts in crisis comms and lobbying. £23,000 is the cost of the first commission.

Maidstone taxpayers’ money being used to lobby Maidstone taxpayers.

Landowners are demanding proof @maidstonebc has excluded them from a scheme to create a garden village of 4,000 homes near #Lenham https://t.co/GBzbpsS4IJ

[Save Our Heath Lands (SOHL) 🍃💚🍃 @SOHeathLands]

@RosieP4 @CommunityPlann1 @mhclg @DamianGreen @SirRogerGale The ridiculous @maidstonebc 4,000-home garden community proposal in the middle of the #Kent countryside is the what we have been fighting for nearly two years and is about 2 miles from where @DamianGreen lives. The destruction is very real for him.
