Use of Council Land
If you are holding a charitable event and your
organisation wishes to use Council land for the event, you can
apply to the Council for consent to use the various public
recreational and housing land within the borough.
Consents are usually only granted to
charitable or non-profit making organisations or to organisations
whose displays will provide a benefit or service to the
community. One of the conditions is that the organisers of
the event must have current Public Liability Insurance of at least
£5 million.
There is no charge for charitable/non profit
making organisations who wish to have consent to use Council land
for their event. However, there are charges and special
conditions applicable for circuses and funfairs wishing to use
Council land. Please see the section on fairgrounds for
further information.
There are several sites throughout the borough
available for use. The following are just an example of the
areas available:-
- North Park at the Civic Centre, Ashford
- Victoria Park, Ashford
- Newtown Green, Ashford
- Spearpoint Recreation Ground, Ashford
- The Green at Cryol Road, Ashford
- Village Green at Wye
Please note that, except in special
circumstances, permission is not normally given to use a site for
more than one day during the year. In order to give us time to deal
with your application it should be sent to the Council at least
three weeks before the intended date you wish to use the site.
