I grew up in Maidstone and am more than aware of what the military means to the County Town of Kent both for for what it means to the economy and its support!

The military barracks is part of the history of Maidstone and a part we are very proud of.

Lose the barracks and the town of Maidstone loses part of its history as well as the community of the Gurhkas.

Our forces have been so depleted over the past decade, when does it stop ? Every other country is increasing it's military capability. As we leave Europe surely now is the time to secure our country and strengthen our military defences, in our county town.

I agree with Helen's comments. I am particularly concerned about the excessive building program and the lack of supportive infrastructure.

We must do all we can to preserve the character and heritage of Maidstone, which in a large part is the Army presence

Our County Town deserves better consideration, as do our Gurka friends.

Helen Grant has expressed my sentiments perfectly.

North Ward is really saturated with areas planned for high density housing just opposite the Barracks already. We have not heard anything of new local facilities such as shops, community hall or doctors which are needed for the increase in population or highway improvements to cope with already over burdened roads and parking for residents.

Maidstone is the County Town of Kent and the Barracks is a vital part of Maidstone's constitution, now and in the past. Save our Barracks and personnel!

I'm signing to save our barracks. Maidstone is and always has been proud to be a garrison town.
