Uni plans encounter strong resistance

PLANS for Kent University to expand into the Chaucer Field area have been hit with another blow, as Canterbury City Council has extended the objection deadline until May 9.

The Facebook group that has been set up as a petition to the university's proposed developments has already generated strong support to stop the extension, and the council has received over 400 objections to date.

Nuns travel to London to join the festivities

Three local men travelled to the Royal Wedding on Friday to celebrate the marriage of William and Kate, but chose an odd attire to attend in.

Tom Murphy, Robert Gisby and Matthew Robson ventured to the capital dressed as nuns on the 5.25AM train from Canterbury West to St Pancreas and raised the odd eyebrow as they traversed the city streets.

The three men made their way on the underground to Trafalgar Square to join the thousands gathered round big screens on what was a day to remember.
