Cllr Diccon Spain and Cllr Alan Dean wanted to give a quick update video to address the concerns regarding the temporary traffic lights at the Bybrook Road junction of Canterbury Road. After speaking with the relevant people, here’s what they had to say.

If you have any additional concerns regarding the traffic lights please contact KCC Cllr Pamela Williams office.

We are against the proposed closures of fire stations across Kent and against the closure of our local fire stations in Chilham and Wye.

Closing these will open up a huge gap between operational stations and will make people more unsafe. Closing fire stations in this climate—and after the 35-degree heat only a couple of weeks ago in when it was still May—is not the right thing to do. Putting people’s safety at risk is not worth it for an improved line in a budget spreadsheet.

House fires may be in decline, but the fire service does so much more. With fewer stations and fewer firefighters, there will be less scope to do the things that have resulted in a decline in house fires, like home visits and smoke detector fittings.

Look out for the consultation coming up from 25 June and look out for more action from your local Greens on this.

This , we'd like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers who make our communities stronger, kinder and more connected.

Whether you're litter picking, helping at community events, supporting local charities, running youth groups, looking after village halls, helping neighbours, organising fundraising events, serving as a school governor, maintaining community gardens, or simply giving your time to support others, you make a real difference every single day.

Volunteers bring people together, improve the places we live, and provide hope, support and friendship to so many. Communities simply wouldn't be the same without you.

And of course, a special thank you to all those who volunteer with Ashford Green Party. Whether you're delivering leaflets, knocking on doors, helping at events, supporting campaigns, raising funds, or working behind the scenes, your time, energy and commitment help us build a greener, fairer future for our local communities.

Pride Ashford Saturday 20th June 2026!

Join us for an amazing day of fun, community and love.

Pride is needed more than ever, with trans rights being debated and removed.
And more open hate online and the streets for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Remember Pride at its core is a protest wrapped in a day of brightness, allyship and love!

We can't wait to share this day with you all

Team Pride Ashford ❤️

With other politicians pushing mental health and neuro diversity to the side, it's time you heard what the Green Party believes:

Neurodivergent people deserve support, not barriers.
The Green Party supports all members of our society recognising that society should adapt to people—not the other way around.

The Greens supports:
✅ Faster ADHD and autism assessments
✅ Better mental health funding
✅ Trained support in schools
✅ Investment in social care
✅ Fairer disability benefits
✅ Neurodiversity training in workplaces
✅ Lower waiting times for mental health support
✅ Policies shaped by disabled and neurodivergent people.

The Green Party supports faster access to diagnosis, properly funded mental health services, inclusive workplaces, stronger social care, and a society that removes barriers for neurodivergent people.

Because disability isn't created by people—it's created by barriers we choose not to remove.

Happy Pride Month 🌈
We look forward to the day when Pride is purely a celebration and not still a protest against prejudice and discrimination.
Until then, we stand with LGBTQ+ communities, oppose homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, and remain a safe, welcoming space for all 💚

As residents will be aware, there have been ongoing intermittent water issues and South East Water are doing all they can to resolve the situation.

However, may we please ask residents to avoid calling 111 in this situation. We appreciate it's difficult for those affected, but 111 is strictly for urgent medical problems that are not immediately life threatening.

Instead, please refer to South East Water directly, or look at their website to see the latest updates. We also have a more general update on the homepage of our website. The link for their website is in the comments.

If you are still affected, please be aware that there are two bottled water stations open, one at Challock Village Hall (TN25 4AU) and the other at Kingsnorth School (TN23 3EF). These are open from 12pm-9pm.

In addition, The Julie Rose Stadium, The Stour Centre and Tenterden Leisure Centres are offering free showers for those in need.

The Julie Rose is open from 7am-8:30pm Monday to Friday, 8am-4pm on Saturday and 8am-2pm on Sundays.
The Stour Centre is open 6:30am-10pm Monday to Friday and 8am-8pm at the weekend.
Tenterden Leisure Centre is open 6:30am-9:30pm Monday to Friday and 8am-6:30pm at the weekend.

We do understand how disruptive this is for our residents and we'd like to thank you once again for your patience.
