Mushroom Farm Survival
A Brookland Mushroom Farm threatened with closure now faces a brighter future thanks to help from local Lib Dem campaigners Peter Carroll and Sylvia Oiller. The farm, Wilsons Nursery on the aptly named Narrowbush Lane, was unable to get deliveries or collections by lorry in recent weeks. The lanes leading from the main road to the farm had been made so narrow by over hanging trees that lorries could not get through without damaging themselves. Peter and Sylvia approached Shepway District Council who have now responded with a plan to severely cut back the trees.

Free To Be Who You Are
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
