Hugh Robertson brands KIG 'completely inappropriate' at protest rally

Hugh Robertson, the MP for Mid Kent which includes the area affected by the Kent International Gateway development, attended the Stop KIG rally on Bank Holiday Monday and led the protestors around a one mile protest course.

Hugh Robertson said, “This is a completely inappropriate development for this area sandwiched between the North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and two of the most beautiful villages in Maidstone. It also makes little sense in rail freight terms which makes me wonder whether this really is a stalking horse for office or residential development”.
