Couldn’t be more excited to be one of four election pilots for early voting. Polls open in two minutes (and there’s a queue in the RVP shopping centre!)

Hundreds of people have already told us what's important to them when thinking about the future set-up of councils in Kent and Medway.
Please spare a couple of minutes to fill out our short survey.

You asked, we made it happen!
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council can confirm that Primark is to open a store in Royal Tunbridge Wells following the retailer’s purchase of the former BHS building in the centre of the town.

Fingers crossed for the @RTWinBloom judging which took place today. @FoDPTunWells was looking spectacular and the judges seemed very impressed with the places they visited and the people they spoke to - especially all the amazing volunteers. #lovewherewelive

I'm trying not to spam people's feeds so here are some more polling stations grouped by theme - some churches/church halls (St James, St Barnabus, St Marks, St Philips). There have been some pretty big queues (for T Wells at St Marks)....
