Local Boards

Active in your community

Local Boards hold regular public meetings across Kent for you to come and have your say about issues that affect your community. They also fund local projects.

Local Boards provide an opportunity:

• for elected members of the county council to work more closely with the public, and with voluntary and private sector partners locally, to meet the aspirations of local people
• for a regular forum for community consultation and participation that will encourage discussion and debate on matters of particular local interest
• to consider the need for services in local communities, and look at the effectiveness of existing services
• for KCC's Cabinet and Cabinet Members to consult on strategic issues affecting a Local Board's area.

There are 12 Local Boards in Kent, each one covering a district council area. Select your area below for information about your Local Board and how to apply for money for community projects.
