July date for public meeting


THE proposed Kent International Gateway depot at Bearsted will be debated publicly in July.

Speakers at the debate, organised by Kent County Council, will include its leader, Cllr Paul Carter (Con), Cllr Fran Wilson (Lib Dem), leader of Maidstone Borough Council, Lord Bruce-Lockhart, chairman of the Local Government Association, Faversham and Mid Kent MP Hugh Robertson (Con) and Dr Hilary Newport, Kent director of the Campaign to Protect Rural England.

Richard Horton, chairman of the STOPKIG campaign, and Brian Clifford, chairman of the Bearsted and Thurnham Society, will represent protestors.

The debate will be in the large hall at Invicta Grammar School, Huntsman Lane, Maidstone, on Friday, July 6, from 7 to 9pm. Former BBC Radio Kent presenter Barbara Sturgeon will chair the meeting.

KIG has yet to say if it will send a representative.
