 | Safer Walking and Cycling Engagement
Tunbridge Well Borough Council and Kent County Council are working to deliver a series of measures that would make the links between Langton Green, Rusthall, the Commons and Royal Tunbridge Wells safer for walking, wheeling (e.g. wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or children’s buggies) and cycling. This would benefit local residents for use for shorter journeys, e.g. to school or shops, as well as improving access to green spaces.
This project is funded by Active Travel England.

Your food waste is collected weekly on the same day as your recycling or household waste collection; it may be collected at a different time of the day.
Got an awkward or bulky item to dispose of? Our bulky waste collection service will remove heavy or large items too big to fit in your bin. To visit the household waste recycling centre at North Farm you must book a slot in advance using the Kent County Council booking system.
Remember you can put old batteries out during your recycling collection week and small electrical items and textiles on your household waste collection week.
Check our waste and recycling pages for more information. |
