Controversial plans for a row of retail kiosks on a busy Canterbury street have been refused amid fears they would become "sitting ducks" for arson attacks.
Concerns over vandalism were among a string of criticisms aimed at the council's vision to install eight timber-clad huts on Station Road West, on the approach to Canterbury West.
Eight kiosks were planned for the street
The proposals - drawn up by the city council in the hope they would create an "engaging streetscene" - were thrown out by the authority's own planning committee on Tuesday evening.
