Ashford For You

Ashford for you summer 2026 Issue 27 front cover and inside spreadWelcome to Ashford For You – Ashford Borough Council's residents’ magazine.

The Summer edition of our residents’ magazine - Ashford For You – has arrived. 

We showcase various initiatives to keep residents safe and focus on how our town centres are changing - including some recent announcements.

Exciting changes are on the horizon for the Civic Quarter along Tannery Lane, and we're encouraging everyone to get moving this summer and visit one our leisure centres or make the most of the outdoors by getting active by foot or by bike.

Fairs, festivals and family adventures will fill the borough with colour, culture and fun over the next few months, and there is a helping hand if you are in need of a wellbeing boost.

Change is coming to local government, so we are asking residents whether Ashford should have a Town Council. We also share some recycling tips and advice have some fantastic competitions to enter - good luck!

You can download our previous editions online.  

This magazine is distributed to all households in the borough via Royal Mail 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.
