Campaigners planning a protest camp at Kingsnorth Power Station came under fire from locals at a public meeting in Hoo on Tuesday night.

Camp for Climate Action is encouraging thousands of people to descend on the area to object to plans for a new coal-fired power station at the site.

The public meeting was organised by Kent Police to give residents living on the peninsula the chance to raise their concerns ahead of a week-long demonstration planned at Kingsnorth in August.

Representatives from Kent Police and Medway Council were at the meeting to listen to residents’ fears and answers questions.

But some locals took the opportunity to voice their objections to the climate camp.
