Nightclub could become family trampoline park
WONDERLAND, one of Maid- stone's largest nightclubs, is set to close and be replaced with a tram- poline facility. There has been a nightclub in the Lockmeadow Entertainment Cen- tre since it was built in the late 1990s.
Before recently being taken over
by Wonderland, it was occupied by nightspots including Ikon and Liquid and Envy. But the attraction in Barker Road is due to close inAugust, and Land
Securities has applied to Maid- stone Council for it to be converted into a centre for leisure activities for children and families. A supporting statement for Gravity Fitness Limited said: “The proposed trampoline facility would diversify the leisure offer at Lockmeadow and increase the footfall to the area. “It would not operate outside
the opening hours of other facili- ties available to Lockmeadow and would remove the amenity issues
associated with people arriving and leaving the club late in the evening or early morning. “It would result in a significant improvement from the existing nightclub in terms of character, en- vironmental impact and amenity.” The £1.8m proposal, which promises to increase the number of jobs on the site from 31 to 65, comes two years after neighbour- ing nightclub Jumpin’ Jaks was re- placed by a Hollywood Bowl bowling alley.
School extension opens
PUPILS enjoyed a cake to celebrate the opening of a £2.37m expansion of their school. KCC leader Paul Carter (centre) declared the hall
extension, playground and library area open at St John’s C of E School in ProvenderWay, GroveGreen. The extension, which was funded by the county council, doubles the school’s intake to 60 pupils a year, allowing it to extend its register to 420 pupils, aged four to 11. Also in attendance was the Mayor of Maidstone
Daniel Moriarty and the Archdeacon of Maidstone Stephen Taylor.
