Following the sad news of the death of Cllr Dan Daley, Maidstone Green Party have announced that Cllr Stuart Jeffery will be the Green Party’s candidate for the Maidstone Central division on Kent County Council. The election is on 6th July.
Cllr Stuart Jeffery said, “I am delighted to have been chosen to contest this seat. I have worked tirelessly across Maidstone campaigning for everything from 20mph residential streets, to saving our much needed farm and woodland, to preventing air and water pollution and to ensuring people still have bus services.
“Maidstone is my home and my passion. I have made a massive impact on Maidstone Borough Council and I can do the same on KCC.
“I want a joined up transport strategy for Maidstone, safer roads and more buses, real action to tackle pollution and emissions, and proper support for those in need.
“I can win this seat. The way people vote is changing. The county division covers the wards where we have huge support including Bridge ward where I was elected last year to Maidstone Borough Council. If I win the county seat I will continue on MBC and be able to push for more joined up thinking between the two councils.”
