Ashford For You

Welcome to Ashford For You – Ashford Borough Council's residents’ magazine.

Our Summer edition is now out.

It is packed with news and information of what is happening in the borough including a look back at the wonderful UNFRAMED Mural Festival and Coronation celebrations.

There’s an update on a possible office move, Community Toilet Scheme and youth clubs as well as a focus on the various wellbeing services available across the borough.

We also preview Big Green Week, answer all your garden waste services queries and advise on how to get the best out of our housing appliances in our environmental section. Elsewhere we cover easier ways to pay for parking and the benefits of fostering.

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.
