As MONOPOLY announce a new Maidstone version of the iconic game Maidstone Borough Council is urging residents to vote for places to feature on the new board game. Maidstone landed the honour of a customised Monopoly game after seeing off 24 other places across Europe to win the accolade and beating runner-up Chartres in France.Marion Ring, Mayor of Maidstone, said: “As there are only two weeks to vote and so many beautiful, historical and memorable places in Maidstone that could be featured in the new game, have a go now for your own favourites. Whatman Park teams is also in the brown set, which are the game’s most affordable squares. Mote Park will join Leeds Castle in the top ranking set, so is the equivalent of Park Lane from the game’s London original. However the launch of the game for the cathedral city in 2014 was not without incident, with a picture of Rochester Castle accidentally included on Canterbury’s edition. A hotel on Jubilee Square could be a nice little earner Mr Shrimpton said: “Maidstone is Kent’s most populous place and is blessed with very many stunning landmarks and buildings, and hidden gems like Leeds Castle and the Archbishop’s Palace.
