Future of historic King’s Head in Canterbury in doubt

1 week ago | kentonline.co.uk | Gerry Warren

The future of Canterbury’s oldest pub is in doubt after a bid was launched to remove its protected status. The 600-year-old King’s Head in Wincheap went on the market last year for £425,000, and now the price has been cut to £350,000. But the owner has also applied to Canterbury City Council to have it de-registered as an ‘asset of community value’.

Two tiger siblings are settling into their new home at a Kent zoo - but they haven’t had to travel far. Duke and Tora were the last remaining residents of the Sandwich Wildlife Park following its closure in 2020. Now they are enjoying their new outdoor enclosure just four miles down the road at Wingham Wildlife Park, where they also have one of the largest tiger houses in the UK and a swimming pool.

As a young girl from a London housing estate, little could Keji Moses have known that one day she would find herself in one of the most respected and historic roles in Kent. Because Nigerian-born Cllr Moses has just been elected as the Lord Mayor of Canterbury at a ceremony in the city. And her first engagement was an invitation to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, where she chatted to Princess Eugenie.

Vandals ruined a town’s historic and iconic waterfall just days after it started flowing again following a lengthy and costly restoration. The picturesque feature in Ramsgate’s Maderia Walk was filled with white foam caused by washing-up liquid, sparking dismay and condemnation among residents. Opened in 1890, the waterfall has had a chequered history of failures and vandalism over the decades.
Drivers flouting rules in pedestrian-only streets in Herne Bay could face fines if ANPR cameras installed

2 weeks ago | kentonline.co.uk | Gerry Warren

A crackdown on motorists driving along pedestrian-only streets in Herne Bay could soon lead to offenders being fined. Kent County Council (KCC) is considering installing number plate-reading cameras in the town centre to enforce rules it says are being blatantly ignored. Some brazen drivers have even been seen reportedly opening barrier gates themselves to gain access to the restricted areas, causing a public safety issue.

2 weeks ago | kentonline.co.uk | Gerry Warren

A young woman has shared a powerful tribute to her best friend after his life was tragically cut short by cancer at just 33 years old. Amie Tuffs, 25, met Alex Streater eight years ago at Canterbury Christ Church University and they soon became inseparable. But their world was turned upside down in February this year when Alex, who worked as a peer support practitioner in mental health, was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma - a rare and aggressive cancer of the bile duct.

2 weeks ago | kentonline.co.uk | Gerry Warren

A staggering £27 million has been spent improving Kent’s high-speed trains, which are now back in service following the refresh project. Upgrades have seen new seats, carpet, lighting and USB charge points installed on Southeastern’s 29-strong fleet of ‘Javelins’. The last of the class of high speed trains to receive its makeover re-entered passenger service this week, marking the end of phase one of the scheme.
New boss of the Tom Thumb Theatre in Cliftonville, Margate, on the challenge she faces in making Kent’s smallest theatre a big success

2 weeks ago | kentonline.co.uk | Gerry Warren

The county’s smallest theatre only has room for 45 people but is considered by many to be a little jewel in the town. Rather than well-known TV comedians, you’re more likely to find up-and-coming talent trying out new material at the 130-year-old former coach house in Cliftonville, Margate. While the setting might be small, an enthusiastic new impresario has told KentOnline of the big future she is planning for the venue in Eastern Esplanade, a stone’s throw from the seafront.
Parish council’s bid to buy Preston Garden Centre, near Canterbury, and create ‘Kent’s best community hub’ dashed

3 weeks ago | kentonline.co.uk | Gerry Warren

But delays in securing planning permission for the 42 new homes appear to have scuppered the deal. Preston Parish Council chairman Tommy Gale says he is “frustrated and disappointed” because a huge amount of time, effort and optimism had gone into the negotiations with the garden centre owner. The parish previously revealed its ambition to create some of the best facilities of any village with the generous space available, which could eventually accommodate a new sports hall.
