Who Are We?

We are a mutual, non-profit-making resident’s association with grave concerns over the way our town is at danger of unregulated urban sprawl.  We came together initially to fight the development behind the Mellowes but have since expanded into trying to protect all the environs around Gillingham.  Our legal advisers recommended we adopt a Limited Company structure to protect both the officers and members.  Our steering committee currently consists of:
