Recognise and value the natural assets as the foundation of a strong rural economy. Inappropriate development and industrial agri/viniculture are to be avoided. Nurture the natural fabric and restore nature in our rural areas and avoid sacrificing these for short term or unsustainable economic development. Local, national and international protections should be proactively supported and not undermined in the pursuit of short term profit or mistaken new shiny transformational mirages that benefit the rich and not the population of Medway and surrounding areas.

Local food and healthy activity should be a key component with mixed farming and horticultural activity.
