Council votes against controversial freight depot
About 1,000 people packed into a warehouse at Maidstone Studios on Thursday evening to hear Maidstone council’s planning committee come to a decision on proposals for a giant road-rail freight interchange.

After listening to residents, officers and MPs slam the plans for a 285-acre depot on open countryside between Bearsted and Hollingbourne during a heated five-hour meeting, the councillors voted unanimously against KIG on all grounds.

Therefore the council felt the applicant’s main argument that KIG would help stop climate change by reducing road freight did not stand up to close scrutiny.

Remember the good old days, when the weather was the same every day?
