The club, a fixture in the area for 42 years, argues the issues stem from illegal shooting nearby. As negotiations for a new lease continue, conflicting views persist on whether a compromise can exist between community safety and the club’s legacy. This highlights the ongoing tension between long-established traditions and modern residential concerns in affluent neighborhoods.
Maidstone Gun Club's longstanding history and community-oriented approach face significant challenges as local homeowners push back against its reopening amid concerns over stray bullets.
