...Did anyone go to the Medieval Fair last weekend? <br />It was free, in the Castle grounds and though not a huge event, was well done. Lots of people sitting around enjoying the entertainment.

Tonbridge & Malling need to take urgent action to breath life back into Tonbridge town centre rather than driving businesses and shoppers away. Markets, free parking, reduced business rates and incentives for shops should all be high on their agenda.<br /><br />Tonbridge Castle is a very underused facility. I know there is music from time to time, but it is such a beautiful location that it should be the hub of the town with lots going on there.The Tomahawk Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861629190849863336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-34995632846361347612009-09-16T17:11:05.948+01:002009-09-16T17:11:05.948+01:00It is very sad that we always have to pay to go an...It is very sad that we always have to pay to go anywhere here in England. I do take exception to it and dislike it intensely. On the continent towns have flea markets in the High Street, or in our case it could be around Castle or river, and people do not have to pay for a pitch. They just bring a table and set up their goods and everything is happy and fine and well attended. The councils gain no rent from them and even get the street cleaners in afterwards. The difference between England and the continent is that we are an insular lot and are simply not offered anything from our local councils, but bled of the last penny in our pockets. It's not a very nice place really and I wonder why I am here.Delianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-60926415685424073702009-09-16T15:26:46.195+01:002009-09-16T15:26:46.195+01:00It was a cup actually.

Even things like The Ideal Home Show, Clothes Show Live, BBC Good Food Show etc. These are dressed up as more than a marketplace, but that is all they are. Still, good luck to them if people are prepared to pay to be advertised to!<br /><br />This is not the only instance of paying for the privilege of advertising - what about paying for carrier bags that are adverts for the shop? I am sure there are many other cases too.<br /><br />Oh dear, it sounds like more moaning. Mr A.
