Tenterden Town Council plays a pivotal role in the community, focusing on enhancing the quality of life and the environment for the residents of Tenterden. As a key intermediary between the local populace and the Ashford Borough Council, the Town Council engages in various activities including reviewing planning applications, managing community spaces, and organising events. The council also oversees several facilities available for public hire, which can be used for events such as weddings.
The council is proactive in community planning and development, as evidenced by its involvement in the Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan and various local development projects. Additionally, it supports local environmental initiatives under its climate action strategy.
Residents and interested parties can engage with the council through regular meetings, and the council maintains accessibility through various temporary locations due to the ongoing refurbishment of the Town Hall. For those looking to get involved or seek more information, the council is reachable through dedicated contact sessions at local venues and by telephone.
