"The majority of the people....."

Which people would these be? Out of what statistic are you taking the "majority" from?  If people really wanted "rural kent" then there are much better locations to buy a house than a 1 road hamlet, right next to Kent Science park, with one access road being a main thoroughfare and the other end linking to the motorway.

Take Bredgar for example, plenty of space for rural living out there.

I would assume that people who moved to tunstall did so for the "ruralesque" appearance yet with the really handy access to both motorway and local amenities.

If you want rural, don't do it by halves, go rural.

well if you knew the area you lived in the main stay or majority of people who live in tunstall and the surrounding roads DO NOT WANT a new school with the associated traffic problems and the noise that it will bring. Others dont want it due to flooding issues and danger to residents and the proposed intake of children that will be coming from all over sittingbourne. Funny you should mention Bredgar but all that rural space could also be about to change. The school when its built will also bring with it housing and the very popular southern relief road. Oh yes and by the way when the housing that maidstone has to build over the next few years meets our housing developements what green land will be left for the precious little children to play in!! with regards to the science park many were here well before that was thought of when it was a research site for shell and the farming community. The Five parishes fought the original plans for expansion and housing and I suspect due to the timeline that will be back again soon.

But on the first issue this area does not need a large school unless the majority of its residents suddenly start an age reversal via divine intervention!
