Lenham Heath and the surrounding area are under threat.

Maidstone Borough Council has revealed plans for a new ‘garden village’ around Lenham Heath which could see 5,000 – or more – new homes built in this area.

The development would destroy an area of farmland at the foot of the North Downs and put huge pressure on local roads and services. 

I’m working closely with the parish council, the “Save Lenham Heath” campaign, and Borough and County councillors, to oppose this development.

Take part in the survey below to tell me what you think about the development.

Stop Lenham Heath Development

I'm shocked at the scale of the Lenham Heath 'garden village' being proposed by Maidstone Borough Council and concerned about how close it is to villages nearby. Plans for 5,000 - or more - new homes would destroy an area of farmland at the foot of the North Downs and put huge pressure on

If you were Chancellor, what would you do?
