Winter edition of Ashford For You magazine arrives

Our winter edition of our residents’ magazine - Ashford For You - has arrived, just in time for the festive season. We spotlight our office move and changes to Tenterden Town Hall and feature the transformation to The Ashford Cinema, and why it’s so much more than just a cinema.

We focus on our Local Plan and explain why it’s important to our borough's future growth and prosperity and we also introduce our new Mayor, Cllr Lyn Suddards, as she talks how she will be supporting our young people in the borough.

There is a bumper What's on including details of the fabulous Carnival of the Baubles event, and many others to get us in the festive spirit, and while talking of spirits, we have a seasonal recycling tips feature, so you know what to do with your bottles, tins and cans this Christmas!

We also report on Tenterden's growing wine industry, celebrate the borough's Olympians and showcase some funding support which is giving our rural businesses a boost. And that’s not all – there are some fabulous prizes on offer in our competitions.

Visit our website to view the latest edition or you can download our previous editions online. 

This magazine is distributed to all households in the borough via Royal Mail this week, and covers what’s going on in the local area, profiling services, people and places.

We want to ensure we are communicating with all our residents and keeping them abreast of what is happening across the borough and the services we provide.

While we know many residents use digital methods of communication, such as our website and social media channels, we do not reach everyone this way, so we produce a borough-wide magazine to complement the other ways we communicate with our community.
