Fremlins
not so disabled friendy?
I was disappointed to find today, that although there are disabled
parking bays in the car park under The House of Fraser, there is not
a concession as there is at The Glades shopping centre in Bromley.
I also notice that walking from Week Street down the Fremlin Walk
to the House of Fraser that there is not any seating provided for
the elderly or for people with walking difficulties.

| Maidstone's
future Shopping experience -
comment editor@visitmaidstone.co.uk
I welcome the eventual Fremlins retail
development. When it gets built I hope that the council will have
the resources and imagination to do something a bit daring.
To integrate the new centre into the existing town by putting a
glass roof over Week Street from High street end to the new Earl
street entrance.
By doing this, it would knit together the two retail centres, along
with the surrounding roads giving the smaller businesses a fair
chance along with the multinationals and ensure that the area would
prosper as opposed to becoming a vacuum in the shadow of two shopping
centres.
Even in bad weather, you could walk
from one centre through to the other centre visiting multi national
stores and small entrepreneurial shops, which would not be able
to afford the high rents.
This would offer the consumer a wider range of choice and make the
shopping experience that the county town of Kent would be proud
of.
- - - - well just a thought! |

I
am trying to trace my fathers heritage and any relatives living in
MAIDSTONE Kent.
His name is Sidney Harry Galpin
born February 2, 1920 in Maidstone. His fathers name was Sidney
Hedley Galpin and mothers maiden name was Florence
Langridge, My father had a younger brother
named Douglas and a younger sister named Alice. I believe
my grandfather has 13 bothers and sisters (some were half brothers
and sisters). My grandparents were heavily involved in the Salvation
Army Corps.
If anybody can help in tracing my fathers heritage, I would appreciate
any assistance.
