⭐️ I would really appreciate it if you could share this to as many people as possible ⭐️

I grew up in Allhallows, a small village in Rochester that has a big heart and holds a special place in mine. Just as my mother did before me, I too wish to continue my life in this little village I love. However, our peace and tranquility are under threat. It seems Medway Council has chosen to willfully disregard the needs and aspirations of the villagers, deciding to build excessive new homes in our village, specifically on the proposed Catesby Estates. These are homes we didn't ask for and ones that bring more detriment than benefit.

It is disheartening that while our pleas for road repair and enhancement of our infrastructure continue to fall on deaf ears, Medway Council moves swiftly to introduce undesirable changes to our community. The natural beauty of our countryside seems destined to be overridden by unnecessary construction. This is an alarming situation. A study by the Campaign to Protect Rural England has shown that many of the infrastructures forcedly built in rural areas do not cater to the needs of the local community, and instead, they cause harm to the environment (source: "State of the Green Belt 2018 report").

No more houses should be built in Allhallows. Our village is not equipped to accommodate this level of expansion, and it is critical that we preserve the rural charm, wildlife, and close-knit nature of our community. Adding more housing developments will only worsen the existing strain on our infrastructure, erode the character of our village, and destroy the very essence of what makes Allhallows unique.

Enough is enough. Our village wants to be heard before our lovely countryside is all but unrecognisable. We call on Medway Council to listen to us, consider our concerns, and halt these unsought housing developments to protect our village's character, environment, and sense of community.

We need Medway Council to start paying attention to us and stop ignoring the problems. It’s urgent that we tackle these issues before it’s too late. If you agree, please sign this petition and help make a difference.
