Making a difference to the people of Rainham
Welcome
This is the site of your local Rainham North Councillors, keeping you up to date on what we're doing to help improve the area and represent you on Medway Council.
In May 2007, residents in Rainham elected two Conservative Councillors Cllr David Carr and Cllr Vaughan Hewett to represent the ward of Rainham North.
On this site you can find out how to contact your local councillor by telephone or e-mail, alternatively we hold regular surgeries on the first Saturday of each month at the Rainham Contact Centre at the top of Station Road Rainham from 10am to 1pm. There's information on the local campaigns we're fighting and how you can get involved and regular updates on the issues that matter to you.
We are determined to make a real difference to Rainham.

.Rainham North saw our Neighbourhood Police force and the Council's Safety and Community Officers speaking with, and handing out leaflets to, rail commutors at Rainham Station first thing this morning. The idea is to reassure residents of the officers constant presence and to remind us all of the magic telephone number to call if we see wrongdoing or if we need any help from the Police or the Council. The team moved on to the Shopping Precinct at noon for about 3 hours to speak to shoppers and visitors in the area. Also pictured here is Cllr Mike O'Brien - Portfolio Holder for Community and Safety, together with your own Cllrs David Carr and Vaughan Hewett, all of whom took part in the day's events. It is intended to repeat this exersize in other wards over the next few months.
By the way - the telephone number to call is 333333 - the Council's Customer First hot desk.
