Maidstone Live covers Maidstone, Bearsted, Allington, Loose and Headcorn. We do two things. We report the local news that comes off public records, planning decisions, crime figures, council spending, so you can see what is actually changing in the area Maidstone Borough Council serves. And we keep the everyday information you look up again and again in one clear place: when your bin is collected, where to park, and what your council tax band costs.
