Get ready for a bureaucratic ballet! Ashford Borough Council is packing up its dusty desks at the Civic Centre and waltzing over to the swanky International House!
The move will happen in stages, like a well-rehearsed council meeting, so there shouldn’t be too much disruption to services. The main office and customer service reception will be up and running at International House, just opposite Ashford International Station, by the end of the year.
Despite the council owning both buildings, the Civic Centre is a money-guzzler, needing a fortune spent on repairs and upkeep in the coming years. By moving to International House, the council hopes to slash costs and save residents money.
Residents will be posted on all future juicy details as soon as the council have them but for now, get ready to see your council representatives in a much more glamorous ‘International’ setting!
