Maidstone residents send Tesco packing

After 9 year Tesco have given up on their plan to build a supermarket on the land behind the Maidstone Fire Station on the Loose Road. Many hundreds of residents got together to campaign against the Tesco proposal, forming the North Loose Residents Association (NRLA) in the process.
The land has now been sold to the property developer Talyor Wimpey, a merger between Taylor Woodrow and Wimpey. The site already has out line planning permission for residential development.
