A note on thin areas

Allington, Larkfield and Headcorn each show only one business here despite repeated searches; this most likely reflects genuinely thin independent coverage in those specific areas rather than a gap in the research, since residents nearby can also reach the town-centre, Bearsted or Coxheath businesses above.
