Wilmington Grammar School visit

Earlier this month, I was delighted to welcome politics students from Wilmington Grammar School's sixth form.

The students were given a tour of Parliament before I met them for a Q&A session, after which I organised gallery tickets for them to watch a debate.

Gareth Johnson visits Cherry Orchard Primary Academy

I was delighted to join Year 6 pupils at Cherry Orchard Primary Academy recently for a Q&A session.

The school opened in 2017 and I have visited several times, the last time being 2018 when I joined staff and pupils to plant a tree as part of the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy.

Rhizome Energy Ltd and Rhizome2 Hydrogen Ltd

I was pleased to meet up with the team from Dartford’s Rhizome Energy Ltd and Rhizome2 Hydrogen Ltd at the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association Lobby Day in Westminster.

It was great to see the team again and hear about some of their recent achievements.

Dartford MP to hold Parliamentary debate on the expansion of the ULEZ

DARTFORD MP, Gareth Johnson, is holding a debate on the expansion of the ULEZ on Tuesday, December 20th in Westminster Hall. 

The debate, which starts at 2.30pm, will examine the Labour Mayor of London’s plan to expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone to the whole of London next August. 

ULEZ once again raised in Parliament

The London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has announced the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), will expand to the border of Dartford from 23rd August 2023.

The people of Dartford have been clear they do not want the ULEZ and I have consistently spoken out against such plans.

Gareth Johnson: Lower Thames Crossing

Since the new Secretary of State for Transport, Mark Harper, was appointed, I have met with him twice to impress upon him the importance of the Lower Thames Crossing, which will help alleviate the daily traffic problems at Dartford. I also asked him about it during Transport Questions.
