Improving our schools

Whenever I speak with people who live, work or travel through the Allington and Barming wards of Maidstone, which is frequently, it is never long before the conversation turns to the adverse consequences of overdevelopment around Hermitage Lane.

Welcoming the launch of the Invicta Summer Academy Helen Grant, Member of Parliament for Maidstone and The Weald, said,
