10 Maidstone Borough Council Shepway Neighbourhood Action Planning
Maidstone Borough Council’s Community Development Team and partners are talking to residents in Shepway to find out what they think about the area and why, and what they would like to change.
Following the consultation, a community action plan will be developed with the help of the local residents. Residents will be offered the opportunity to take part in further education and training which will help their chances of employment.
Shepway residents who would like to take part in the consultation and/or help deliver the community action plan should contact the community development team on 01622 602222 or email
communitydevelopment@maidstone.gov.uk.
