Ashford For You
Welcome to Ashford For You – Ashford Borough Council's residents’ magazine.
Our Spring edition is out soon. In this edition we again focus on the support and advice on offer to help those struggling with the cost of living.
We also have an important update on photo ID required for polling stations in May, and the results of our residents' survey are revealed.
There is a handy guide on how to navigate your way through making or commenting on a planning application on our website and the Jasmin Vardimon dance academy takes centre stage with a double page feature.
There are grow your own and food waste tips as well as details on how you can be a litter hero or explore Victoria Park this spring. We also include information on the dangers of looking good, some significant anniversary dates coming up and our war on tenancy fraud.
And that’s not all – there are some fabulous prizes on offer in our competitions.
You can download our previous editions online.
This quarterly 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.
