Letter from Leeds PC to Leaders of KCC and MBC
=====================================================
Willington Street supports Leeds PC in road petition
Dear Ms. Mcwethy,
(Reporter with Kent Messenger) Friday November 6th 2015.
John Govett, Chair of Leeds Parish Council, spoke openly and frankly in the interview
he gave last week. For decades, the residents of south and south east Maidstone
have suffered with the lack of highway investment for our county town. As Mr. Govett
rightly states, a bypass has been promised for years and years.
WillAct, Maidstone residents and indeed others who travel to and from other towns
and cities, including haulage contractors, all recognise this new road is long overdue.
MBC and KCC must work together to investigate all avenues and obtain funding.
We endorse and support Leeds Parish Council and will work with them to make this
new road a reality. We ask all residents to please sign this Petition. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
J. Sutton
Willington Street residents representative
