How much more can public take?
Local Democracy Reporter Supplements editor So the master plan to cover for the lack of parking in Maidstone, is to put prices up (KM January 18).
Send them all to Bluewater so they won’t continue to be a nuisance?
The more I see of this modern world, the house building, the state of the roads, the surgery closures, the rail services, the more I realise it’s run for the people in charge and to maximise their Lottery win salaries, pensions and bonuses.

She took her seat, however, with no great fuss over the narrowness of the margin.
In 1975 I was very disappointed we voted to stay in the EEC but I have had to accept this vote in spite of my objection to continued membership.
A major difference in reasons for voting to leave in 2016 was the fact that the old EEC had grown KMTV news editor massively into the, now, EU by the accession of many very poor East European nations resulting in uncontrolled immigration and the consequent strains on our services such as health, schools and other infrastructure along with increased export of capital.
These factors had not even been dreamt of in 1975 when the Community was made up of a few, largely wealthy, countries.
May I suggest that Mr Aylward and his fellow “remoaners” accept a democratic vote as I did in 1975 and allow us to live in a country which is governed as far as possible by its own countrymen and not those that wish to live in a huge empire. Tony Monk, Westerhill Road, Coxheath
