Stop cuts to Children's Centres to pay for Battle of Medway Commemorations
To stop their obscene and immoral proposal to make cuts of £60,000 to children's services in Medway to pay for 10 days of events to commemorate the Battle of Medway.
Why is this important?
Medway council want to cut support for children in Medway to pay for an elaborate 10 day celebration and re-enactment of a 350 year-old naval battle - the Battle of Medway.
£60,000 will be taken from children’s services to pay for the celebrations - which include jet ski demonstrations, fireworks and over-the-top battle reenactments.
This money should be ring fenced for children's services. As a Medway council tax payer I know where I want the money to be spent - on children!
