Sheppey’s right to fight for decent infrastructure!

Sheppey to gain funding for an adequate infrastructure to match the increased influx of population.

Why is this important?

Dear Mr Henderson, as you are most probably aware the Island has been without water for nearly three days! In such a modern society this is totally unacceptable and could have been prevented if the water infrastructure had been modernised along with the thousands of new homes being built putting extra strain on an already antiquated system!

Frequent leaks on a regular basis have been tolerated thus far but the last few days have brought this issue to a head.

This simply cannot continue!

We are campaigning for Sheppey to gain funding for an adequate infrastructure to match the increased influx of population due to the mass ongoing building on the island!

On a personal note yesterday I had to have minor operation in Medway hospital and it took over three hours to get home due to the laying of a temporary fire hose ( totally needed) but as usual at the expense of the island resulting in grid lock and traffic backed up to Gillingham. This could all have been prevented if the water infrastructure had been addressed in the beginning!

We would like you to address this issue with urgency before this happens again.
We would like new housing plans to be suspended or postponed until plans are put in place to update our island infrastructures to match the population increase!
