Tonbridge & Malling Borough Councillors have voted in favour of forming a Town Council in Tonbridge.

Tonbridge is set get its own town council following a decision by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council.

Borough councillors approved recommendations from the Community Governance Review, confirming:

- A new Tonbridge Town Council

- 18 elected councillors

- Six wards across the town

- First elections in May 2027

- A new “Oast” ward name for the unparished parts of Hildenborough

The decision follows two rounds of public consultation, with strong support for the creation of a town council.
