Edward Moore House Protest
Gravesend residents gathered outside the Civic Centre in Gravesend, objecting to the proposed opening of a home for unaccompanied asylum-seeking (UAS) children.
Edward Moore House was a former care home bought by Kent County Council (KCC) and is currently being redeveloped.
