Medway Council have decided to apply for city status for the Medway Towns and villages and rename us all Medway City. They have yet again failed to properly consult with the residents, they have not explained the pros and cons of becoming one city and they have not disclosed the costs that a change to city status will incur. We the undersigned petition Medway Council to carry out a referendum to ask the people of the Medway Towns if they wish to be renamed Medway City, or to keep their town and village names and instead reinstate city status to the historically named City of Rochester.
