A nice location totally ruined by bad planning and greed we are not a london borough

A nice location ruined by no thought and completely ugly new buildings what a waste maidstone is now a dumping site the dross from London
What a shame a town completely destroyed by greed

ok

Maidstone town centre is uninspiring, dated, dirty and I feel unsafe. I tend to travel to Canterbury or Bluewater for shopping.
Most towns use their riverside location for restaurants, bars and/or green spaces yet we have a hideous travelodge and various superstores.

Happy to help

I was disappointed that there was no opportunity to comment on the vast numbers of new housing estates being granted planning permission without adequate corresponding infrastructure. Also no opportunity to comment on the mess that is the highway system in and around Maidstone which leads to a choking of the local road network. The questions are all aimed at producing positive responses without tackling the really contentious problems facing Maidstone.

As the county town of Kent there should be so much more made of the river. Boating, restaurants, cafes, better publicised walks.
I would like to see less house building. We already are saturated yet more and more planning applications are approved.
Encourage more businesses back into our now dying town Centre.

A good survey

To many stabbings in maidstone druggies . Its turning into Chatham.. du of foreigners and moving london criminals down in to the town what could possibly go wrong .. stop building houses in and around Kent send them up north plenty room up that way .....

Would very much like house and garden inspections from golden homes brought back into place try to enjoy the weather and all me and others smell is dog poo,rats/mice in and around house/gardens I’m sure others feel the same

Good survey. I hope some results come of it.

Maidstone is not a nice place to live these day ,lived here all my life can’t believe it how it’s run down to many people from London

love maidstone

There should be more text boxes for free typing as some questions without explanation could seam to pointed

The town continues to decline. We have become a dumping ground for London boroughs and this combined with the appalling planning in this borough has made this a seedy dirty place which will only decline much further. The council appears to want to fill every green space with her more flats.Come on MBC listen to the residents who pay your wages and give the younger generation something to look forward to and be proud of.

Love Barming and one blessing has been our hospital and our surgery (the vine, tonbridge road) but although the pharmacy was so reliable in delivering our medicine, now we
have to keep phoning them to find out what's happened to our meds- were told by the surgery it's because the pharmacy puts in their requests for the doctors prescriptions in the letter box!

Too much house building without thinking of how that effects other residents or the people who move into areas that are already overcrowded without facilities.

Great place to live Maidstone 🙌 👍 👏

Why do Maidstone council not take the speeding on Malling Road Teston ME185BH seriously?

Think the absence of questions about Maidstone Council, MBC Councillor’s and Parish Councils, Parish Councillors and the decisions they take a gross error.

So too questions about MBC directorate, the way money is spent / squandered
and decisions made

In many cases for above I use one word “Ahorrent”
