Welcome to the West Kent Partnership website. Our partnership brings together organisations from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors — working together to tackle key issues for West Kent. Through our approach and intervention we aim to give the people of West Kent a voice and improve the quality of life for all.

 

The West Kent Partnership is a strategic partnership covering Sevenoaks District Council, and the boroughs of Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells. The Partnership addresses common sub regional economic issues and identifies strategic issues for lobbying and other interventions.

Additionally, the WKP is closely linked to each of the three community strategies which are directly dealing with local issues:

Sevenoaks Community Strategy — Making it Happen
Tonbridge & Malling Community Strategy - Serving You Better

Tunbridge Wells Community Strategy - Enhancing the Quality of Life for All
