Parade brings global theme to town centre
HUNDREDS of people enjoyed the glorious sunshine as the Maid- stone Parade wound its way around the streets. The spectacular parade with the
theme “Around the World” in- volved more than 20 walking groups from schools, churches, charities, youth and community groups, accompanied by choirs and bands. Places represented in colourful costumes included Africa, Brazil, Italy andHawaii while the children from Jubilee Church dressed as aeroplanes from across the world. There were also live music and
dance performances in the town. The event was organised as part
of Maidstone Arts Festival by Maidstone Town Team, in conjunc- tion with Maidstone Council and the Town Centre Management. For more pictures of the parade see

News Trees at risk
TWO protected lime trees could be removed at The White Rabbit pub in Sandling Road, Maid- stone. A planning application says
one of the trees is dead and within falling distance of the road and car park area. It says the other has a low canopy and is the subject of an instruction let- ter by Maidstone Council. Workis also proposed for trees including two limes, two bud- dlieas, a sycamore, ivy and all other vegetation – all the subject of the council's instruction letter. The council will decide the ap- plication.
Arcade plan
A GAMBLING arcade in Maid- stone town centre is set to close. A planning application seeks
to convert Main St Amusements at 90Week Street into a tanning and beauty salon. Applicant Absolutely Fabu-
lousTanning has 14 salons across the country, includingMegaSun Tanning, which recently opened in Orpington and whose frontage would be replicated in Maidstone. Maidstone Council will decide the planning application.
