What they are saying…
24 Sep 2003
Derek Wyatt, MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey: “Kent Science Park will not create any new jobs for my constituents and it will not attract a university or further education college. It will make a vast dormitory town and make two landowners very rich.”
Nick Sharp, site director, (speaking of the recent public exhibition): “The first consultation was a very useful process for us in terms of recognising people’s concerns and of how to best present future information. We hope we were able to address the main concerns.”
David Issac, a resident of Stockers Hill, Rodmersham: “That Kent Science Park has under-achieved in attracting business is not a valid reason to turn our lovely countryside into a housing estate. It is imperative that residents pull together to stop the proposals.”
Keith Hill, Minister at the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister: “Both the KCC and Swale Council support the expansion of the site as a science park.”
