There was a large public attendance at Tuesday nights Regeneration and Sustainable Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee, with many dismayed at the decision to close the site by Sept 3rd.
After a 2 1/2 hour debate the committee finally voted to refer the decision back to the Cabinet member for the Environment to consider the issued debated. The cabinet member now has five days to respond.
While the Cabinent Member made much over tight budgets, there was little new evidence presented to support the misguided decision for the September closure, other than of course budgetary pressures in other areas. This can only suggest that the Park 'N' Ride serving the whole of the South side of Maidstone was not hitting the Cabinent Members priorty button.
So much for the environment then.
And so much for public services!
