*More than 150 delegates packed into Dartford's Mick Jagger Centre last week for the town's first business forum. The event was organised jointly by Dartford Council and Kent Thameside Chamber of Commerce to promote communication with the business community. Representatives added their weight to a council plea for everyone to work together to ensure Dartford had a successful trading future.
