Our big offer this week is FREE fish and chips for every reader. We have teamed up with Seawave, in Week Street, Maidstone, to offer free small cod and chips or sausage and chips for everyone - just cut out the voucher from this week's Kent Messenger and take it along to the restaurant. See the KM for full terms and conditions.

This week's main story in the Maidstone edition is the council's plan to scrap free parking permits for residents. It'll affect almost 6,000 households across the borough, who will now have to pay £25 a year to park their car outside their home. We also launch our You Can Help appeal to collect food and clothes for homeless people this winter - look out for details about how you can get involved. We also have a picture special from last weekend's Christmas lights switch-on and the Light Up A Life service.

In our Malling edition we lead on the story of a man who has been jailed for a year after collecting £250 of cocaine for his girlfriend. There's also a free reader offer for anyone attending the Light Up A Life service in West Malling this Sunday - cut out our coupon and you can claim some free bulbs for your garden.

In Weald, our main story is the disappearance of a 98-year-old letter that Winston Churchill sent to the townsfolk of Cranbrook. We also find out about the school building plan which has been delayed by a colony of lizards.

So don't miss your Kent Messenger, available now.
