Medway Liberal Democrats are happy to announce Ronald Arcon Gillett as our candidate for the Cuxton, Halling and Riverside By-Election.

Full statement

Ron is a local champion who lives locally in the ward.

Ron champions the Medway Liberal Democrats’ efforts to clean up River Medway. Across Medway, at St Mary's Island, he supports John Castle’s & Nicholas Chan’s efforts in cleaning up the dockside - where rubbish gathers regularly. Ron calls for better regulations and to put water companies into community hands and ownership.

Across Medway, Ron is passionate to revitalise our high street businesses with a Business Rate reform. "The Government should replace unfair business rates with a Commercial Landowner Levy to shift the tax burden from struggling tenants to commercial landowners, to stop penalising productive business investment and use land and buildings more efficiently, " says Ron Gillett. This will end the stealth tax on our high streets, which affects youth employment and business investments.

Together, we Demand Better for Medway residents.
