Welcome from Councillor George Perfect, Leader of the Opposition
A warm welcome to the Medway Conservative Group. I am very proud to be the Leader of our Group, and Leader of the Opposition on Medway Council. These are exciting times for us as we continue to hold the administration to account and develop our strategy for the next set of local elections and beyond. I am delighted to be leading the group in this new era.
Medway Conservatives are the most successful political group in Medway’s history, with twenty-one councillors across three constituency associations, Gillingham and Rainham, Chatham and Aylesford and Rochester and Strood. Our Group formed the administration from 2000 until 2023, with an excellent record of delivering high quality services and making Medway the amazing place that it is today. My team have a tremendous amount of experience of delivery, with a Shadow Cabinet which brings broad skills from business, politics, education, property and technology.
I love Medway. I was born here and have lived here my entire life. From Rochester’s rich heritage to Chatham’s innovative town centre and rich naval history to Gillingham and Rainham’s amazing greenspaces, Medway is a great place to live, work, learn and visit. In opposition, our group will always stand up for all five of our towns and surrounding villages, in our unique, constructive, forward-looking and highly ambitious way. This whilst working with our national party and constituency associations on a strategy for the next set of Medway local elections.
I hope you enjoy reading our website and learning about my team. If you are interested in learning more, have a policy question, or want to support us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me or a member of my team.
