The Prime Minister has urged the council to do more to try and save hundreds of jobs at risk at historic docks.
Rishi Sunak intervened after a question from Rochester and Strood MP Kelly Tolhurst about a redevelopment project at Chatham Docks.
She told the PM that hundreds of jobs were at risk because the owners were “continuing in their pursuit to displace successful businesses.”
The Conservative MP also took aim at Medway Council’s Labour administration, saying it was failing to honour its commitment before the local election last year to protect the jobs.
