Parish Council
Combining Tradition with New Opportunities
| |
| | Kingsnorth
has had a village community since before the Roman occupation. This continuity
has laid down a solid foundation of good judgement and tradition.
In
the 21st century Kingsnorth has a marvellous opportunity to welcome new residents
to enrich what is already a very good place to live and work
.
The aims
of the Parish Council are to fight to preserve all that is good from the past,
including the rural nature of the area, while recognising the tremendous potential
from new blood that will continue to add talents and enthusiasm to the community. |

| KINGSNORTH
PARISH COUNCIL acts as a link between its parishioners, Ashford Borough Council,
Kent County Council and other bodies to which it communicates matters of concern.
It is consulted on planning applications in the parish, on the Local Plan and
on other matters of local government policy. | |
