an early retirement package from bosses at Capital & Re- gional, in ad- vance of its proposal to redevelop the shopping centre. Mr Alcock


has been a well- known figure both


in the town, being a big oppo- nent of moving the town’s CCTV to Medway, and on the football pitch, where his 20- year career in officiating peaked with a five-year spell as a Premier League referee be- tween 1995 and 2000. Mr Alcock has been an active trustee and member of the Town Centre Management and volunteer with the Urban Blue Bus, both of which he plans to remain involved with after his retirement. He said: “I intend to remain


very busy – and very much in- volved with Maidstone.”
