Waste dominates town in Kent (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maidstone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'town in kent' is the definition.
'maidstone' can be an answer for 'town' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'in kent' bit.

'waste dominates' is the wordplay.
'waste' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'wasted' mean this).
'dominates' with letters rearranged gives 'MAIDSTONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maidstone that I've seen before include "Dominates in market town of Kent, England" , "Dominates (anag) - English town" , "prison" , "City in Kent" , "County town of Kent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
