East Street

Sittingbourne's Aldi supermarket is set to close for two months from 4pm this coming Sunday (12th January).

The popular budget store, situated on East Street, has been there since 2005 and will see a long anticipated expansion scheme finalised. The plans were approved by Swale Borough Council in May 2024 and the branch is set to be re-open at 8am on Thursday 13th March.

Detectives investigating a reported street robbery in Sittingbourne have issued CCTV images of a man they believe can help with their enquiries.

At around 1.10am on Friday 26th May it was reported that a man was in East Street when another man in his 20s approached him and stated he had a knife.

The man stole the victim's wallet and mobile phone.

Anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV footage or has any information that could help is asked to call Kent Police on 01795 419119 quoting reference XY/024003/17.
