The old Waitrose is going to be an Aldi
So that's Aldi, Lidl, Poundstretcher, 99p store. My lunch breaks are so classy here in sunny Dartford!
You stay classy Dartford
Can't believe this is my home town you're dissing, Swis !
Sadly though, it has come to this sorry state.
Apart from a couple of visits to The Orchard, I can't remember when I last took my life in my hands and perused those characterful shops you mention.
I was born in Lowfield St and lived there for 22 years so the Tesco fiasco is of particular interest to me. Mum was a few days old when her family took over the brand new council house and she lived there for the first 90 of her nearly 95 years. Thankfully, she is pretty much housebound here with us now so she will never have to see how her locality has been devastated.
As the News Shopper article states, there was no Plan B. And I'm not holding my breath that one will be forthcoming any time soon.
A historic town brought to its knees by a supermarket chain ! You couldn't make it up .
By the way, Swis. Please get your facts right....
It's " P**K" I shout !

Maybe Laura hasn't told you but Rydon Homes are seeking planning permission to build 35 homes in Wadhurst which the villagers are objecting to most strongly. They have formed an action group, the WAG'S, to fight it and other future proposed developments which will follow. We too are fighting an application from Rydon in Ninfield (55 homes) and have formed our our action group, the NAG'S, as have Herstmonceux (HAG'S), Ringmer (RAG's) and there is now a plan to join forces to fight the evil Rydon Homes together.0

That's the first I've heard about it.
They're actually in Tidebrook as opposed to Wadhurst but obviously very close.
Mind you, if they're built, maybe I could persuade Richard to take a closer look at moving....

I know you put a smiley but don't you dare. Rydon are the scourge of East Sussex at the moment. The annoying thing is the villages don't need new housing, there is currently a surplus on the market as it is, and they are just ruining the countryside and close knit local communities. I better stop now or I could go on forever. Grrrr ...1

Tesco's are no great loss. Just drive a couple of miles and you'll find another one if that's your bag.
I see Dartford Gateway has been approved. Some good renders in the link below

Although a few years filled with Dartford and SE London's finest, I doubt it will remain as pristine as the renders!0 -

I quite like Darford ,take my mum there sometimes in the Summer we sit in Prince's Park,had one of the drinkers comment on my Charlton Tattoo once said he was a supporter.Mind you I now live in Hastings1

Tesco did the same in Ashtead, Surrey, where the locals somehow forced them to turn the empty site into a small park. They did the bare minimum but it's better than nothing.0
-
scores of planned stores, small and huge will not now be built or opened if already built .. 43 stores, mainly of the smaller 'corner shop' variety will be closed and Tesco's pension scheme will be closed to new employees.
