Cllr Rehman Chishti, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Gillingham and Rainham, has launched a campaign against proposals to store ammonium nitrate at Chatham Docks.

Cllr Chishti said, “a large number of people raised this issue with me at my regular street stall in Gillingham High Street. I have also received telephone messages from concerned residents.

“I am firmly opposed to the storage of such a potentially dangerous substance in residential areas. I have launched a petition against this and will present firm representations opposing this application to the relevant Council Department concerned.

“I will be holding street stalls in Gillingham and Rainham in coming weeks, collecting signatures for my petition opposing this application.”
