Maidstone River Festival cancelled

One of the county’s most popular and largest free events, Maidstone River Festival, has been cancelled.
In what would have been its 29th year, the event’s voluntary committee have been forced into the cancellation following a new directive that the Police now charge for attending Public Events.
The new regime was announced in October 2007, in line with documentation issued by Association of Chief Police Officers, and comes into effect in April 2008. These charges are substantial and they come on top of the event licence fees quietly introduced by the government just two years ago.
