New Ash Green Village Centre

New Ash Green Village Centre

New Ash Green is a wonderful community. It is unique in how it was developed and the design standards that are set continue to make it a place many wish to live.

Sadly, there is one part which lets it down. The Village Centre.

The regeneration of New Ash Green is increasingly urgent. Shopkeepers, the Village Association, Ash-cum-Ridley Parish Council, Sevenoaks District Council and many residents across the village all agree with the need to improve the area.

KMP Solutions are responsible for the maintenance and regeneration of New Ash Green Village Centre. I have tried to secure funding to help them work with Kent Police, SDC and others to encourage more investment into the community. But there is more they need to do.

Over the past few months I have been working to understand KMP Solutions vision for its future. They’ve published a Development Plan (HERE) and a Regeneration Plan (HERE). But are they ambitious enough?

This is where I need your help. Please let me know using the form on this page what your thoughts are about the Village Centre. We are lucky to have a number of shops but how can we keep them here, encourage more people to come to the Village Centre, and improve the whole area?

I’m keen to hear from you so you are able to share with me your perspective on what can be done to help regenerate New Ash Green Village Centre.
