The Ashford Partnership  has produced the Ashford Sustainable Community Strategy, a ten-year plan which sets out a clear vision for how the borough should develop, the key objectives the Partnership will seek to achieve and provides a clear picture to the outside world of what is important to the borough’s residents

 

The aim is to continue to transform the economic, social and environmental profile of the borough so that local people can live more happy and fulfilled lives.

 

The partnership meets approximately every two months and is convened by a lead officer, Ian Bailey (Assistant Head of Cultural Services – Ashford Borough Council).
