In early 2007, the Kent International Gateway Group announced plans to build a large rail-freight and logistics depot in the corridor between Bearsted and the rail line and M20 motorway, an area which is currently made up of fields and woodland. The controversial plans have raised significant objections from local residents and the Campaign to Protect Rural England and are, as of early 2008, under review by Maidstone borough council.
Work for us - We are looking for enterprising, community-minded people with time and a digital camera to help populate our local websites.
We are currently working on the Bearsted profile and would be pleased to receive contributions from anyone who knows it well.
